) INTRODUCTION.
The following- pages are not intended to give a full account
of the Bartow Familj^, but merely an outline genealogy, with
the sources whence I have been gathering for years a vast
> amount of family matters, now in manuscript and for a future
and complete genealogy of the family.
The Bartows of Westchester were alwaj^s a very clannish
family, and each member was acquainted with and visited
i every other member. I have been informed that at these
visits, the older ones present would frequently introduce the
subject of the family in olden times, and tell some anecdote of
an ancestor. This was es])ecially the case with John Bartow,
who lived till the year 1802, at the advanced age of 87, be-
loved by all his relatives, by whom he was familiarly called
Old Uncle John.
This love of family history my father inherited and trans-
mitted to me.
The tradition in all branches of the family has been that
we descend from a General Bertaut, who came from Brittany
and settled in England ; and the family always took it for
granted that he was the father of Eev. John Bartow, the first
of the family who came to America.
From investigation made by Edgar J. Bartow, it appears
that General Bertaut was a remoter ancestor, and not the
4 INTRODUCTION.
father of Eev. John Bartow. Before this investigation was
made appeared the pedigree of the Bartow faniii}^ in Bolton's
History of Westchester County, making the Eev. John Bartow
the son of the General. This pedigree was furnished by
Edgar J. Bartow to Mr. Bolton from one written b}' Eev.
John V. Bartow, now in possession of his daughter, Mrs,
Montell, of x^storia. It has manj^ inaccuracies — they will
appear by a comparison of it with the following pages. The
first attempt at anything like family research was made by
Edgar J. Bartow, who had the matriculation book of Christ
College, England, examined, where Eev, John Bartow was
educated, to find the place of his birth. From these records
he learned that the Eev. John Bartow was born at Crediton,
in Devonshire, and was the son of Doctor Thomas Bartow, of
the same place. This correction Mr. Bolton makes in his
History of the Church of Westchester County. Business pre-
vented Mr. Bartow from making further inquiries about mat-
ters in which he took such an interest. It was for me to visit
the native place of the first emigrant to this country, which I
did in the month of June, 1871. All that I could gather in
reference to the famil}- is enibodied in these pages. I found
the records of the baptisms of the children of Doctor Thomas
Bartow, but not his own, from which I inferred that he had
moved into the Parish. General Bertaut, of Brittany, it is
probable, came into England after the Massacre of St. Barthol-
omew, A. D. 1572, and would be the father, or more likely the
grandtather, of Dr. Thomas, of Crediton.
At an earl}^ age I became interested in family matters, and
when twelve years of age, I began collecting genealogical
material, which has now swelled into a large volume. I first
INTRODUCTION. O
gathered as much as I could from aged members of the
family, who toll! me anecdotes of different members, gave me
old books that were in the fiimil}^ old letters, and other relics.
Then I visited ditterent churchyards, and copied the inscrip-
tions, and obtained copies of wills and parish records.
It was my hope to have published what I have collected in
a book to be enriched with numerous engravings of several
members of the family, country seats and churches, but my
duties are such as to prevent my giving that attention to it
that I desire, and my means too limited to give it to the
family in such elegant form as I think so much laborious
research deserves.
With these difficulties to meet, a few years since I handed
over to a member of the famil}' all I had gathered on the sub-
ject, with the hope that he might be able to accomplish what
I had failed to do. To complete what I had begun, he has
worked unweariedly, by correspondence and personal investi-
gation, gathering avast amount of additional information, and
a great deal that I could never have obtained.
The following pages are only meant to give a faint outline,
being merely the names of all who have borne the surname
of Barlow, descended from the Rev. John Bartow, the first
who came to this country, with references to the books in
which any of the family are mentioned. My object is to pi-e-
serve some portion at least of all I have collected ; and, by
giving the sources of information, to assist any future his-
toi'ian of our family.
I.
General Bertaut.
pENERAL BERTAUT.i the first of the family of
whom we have an account, removed from Bre-
tagne on account of the reHgious persecutions and settled
in England. It has been supposed that he fled 'at the
time of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, till
recent investigation showed that the family were in
England long before. He may have left France after
the Massacre of St. Bartholomew, A. D. 1572.
It has been the tradition in the family that he came
from Bretagne ; and the arms of the family, which
several of the members of the family possessed in the
last century, agree with those of the ancient house of
the Bertauts of Bretagne, whose ancestor was one of
those valiant soldiers who distinguished himself in the
Holy Wars. The arms of the Bertauts of Bretagne are
Dor a le bande de sable, clu.irgee de trois bezants
d' argent accom'pagnee de six annelets de geules suis en
orle. Of this family was Francis Bertaut of Donnai,
whose sons were John Bertaut, Bishop of Seez in 1606,
and Pierre, Sire de Noisi, Gentleman of the King's

Chamber. Pierre was the father of Frances, the cele-
brated Lady Motteville,! and Francis Bertaiit, Ecuyer.
The latter, born 1621, was Seigneur de Freauville and
Courcelles, and had John Bertaut, Ecuyer.
Another family of Bartows in this country descend
from Francis Barteau,^ who came from Paris, France,
with his son Francis, and settled at Huntington, L. 1.,
and married for a second wife a lady who came over as
a companion to the Govei'nor of Pennsylvania's wife,
and m. James Morris, of London, b. 1675, d. 1779.
Francis Barteau, son of the first Francis by his first
wife, removed from Huntington to Fire Place, L. 1., in
1741, the place remaining in the family till 1871. He
m. Margaret Morris, d. of his stepmother, and had 1.
Morris Barteau, kd. in the French War ; 2. Temperance,
m. Mr. Rose, and their son, Nathan, took the name of
Barteau, and was father of Hon. David Barteau, Judge
of Broome Co., N. Y., whose family have anglicized the
name to Bartow ; 3. Mary Barteau, m. Henry Bomers ;
4., 5., 6. Benjamin, Margaret, and Phoebe, d. y.; 7.
Francis Barteau ; 8. Stephen Barteau ; and 9 Clemence
Barteau.
John Barteau came over with his brother, the first

BARTOW GENEALOGY. 11
Francis, and left two sons, who anglicized the name to
Barto, namely, John and Francis: 1. John Barto, h.
1709, lived at Nine Partners, Dutchess Co., N, Y., had
three sons, Benjamin Barto, Samuel Barto, and William
Barto, ancestor of Hon. Henry D. Barto, of Trumans-
burgh, N. Y. 2. Francis Barto, h. 1711, d. March 26,
1786, at Huntington, L. I, ; by Mary, his wife, who d.
in 1790, he left six sons and three daughters, one of
whom,- Morris, was father of Obadiah Barto, of Hemp-
stead, L. I., from whom I obtained some of this account.
It does not appear that this family are connected with
the Bartows of Westchester. The two brothers Francis
Barteau and John Barteau came from Paris, were born,
say about 1670-72, were not brothers of Rev. John
Bartow — may possibly be distant cousins in France.
II.
Doctor Thomas Bartow.
T\R. THOMAS BAIITOW,^ the first of the family
of whom we have any record, was living at Crediton
in 1672. His wife, Grace , was buried in the
churchyard of the Holy Cross, Crediton, Jan. 25, 1676.
CHILDREN: —
1. Jobn, of whom hercaftei".
2. Anthony Bartow,'' baptised March 11, 1G73, in the
Church of the Holy Cross, Crediton, and there buried,
May 20, 1675.
3. Mary Bartow,^ baptised Dec. 8, 1675, in the Church of
the Holy Cross, Crediton ; married Doctor Haskins,
of England.
4. Thomas Bartow,* baptised April 24, 1676, in the Church
of the Holy Cross, Crediton, and there buried Nov.
12, 1678. The date of this burial may be that of
the father, as we find the name afterwards in Eng-
land, and as Doctor Bartow's burial is not recorded
otherwise in Crediton, though he ma}'' have died at
Pampisford, where his son was vicar, before removal
to this country. The burial records of Pampisford
for that period are lost.
In the churchyard of the Holy Cross, Crediton, is a
tombstone to Elisabeth Barto,^ who died at Crediton,

16 BARTOW GENEALOGY.
Aug. 10, 1858, the wife of William Backwell. On
inquiry, I learned she was the daughter of Robert
Melhuish, of Sandford, whose mother was named
Elisabeth Barto. I learned from Mrs. Elisabeth
Tucker, of Tiverton, the daughter of Thomas Melhuish,
eldest son of this Elisabeth Barto and Thomas Melhuish,
senior, that her grandmother, Elisabeth Barto, was born
in 1746, brought up at Dartmoor, died at Orediton, and
was buried at Colebrooke. She had no brother ; her
sister Martha died unmarried, and she herself used to
tell the family that she was " the only living inheritor
of the name in England."
If the record of the burial of Thomas Bartow, in
1678, be that of Doctor Thomas Bartow, then Thomas,
the son, may possibly be the grandfather of this Elisa-
beth Barto.
The records of the parishes of Colebrooke and Sand-
ford make no mention, of any of the name.
III.
Rev. John Bartow, 1 673-1 725.
Son of Doctor Thomas Bartow.
T)EV. JOHN BARTOW.i A. M., the first of the
family in this country, was born at Crediton,
Devonshire, England, A. D. 1673; was son of Doctor
Thomas Bartow, of that place. He was graduated at
Christ College, Cambridge, in 1692, and became Curate
of Pampisford, in Cambridgeshire, to which Church he
was inducted Vicar, May 28, 1698. In 1702, he was
sent over by the Propagation Society, and became
First Rector of St. Peter's Church, Westchester, N. Y.
For a sketch of his life see Bolton's History of the
Church in Westchester County.
In 1705, Rev. John Bartow married Helena, daughter
of Hon. John Reid, Surveyor-General of New Jersey,
and member of Assembly, and sister of Anna, wife of
Hon. John Anderson, Governor of New Jersey. Besides
George,^ who died young, and three others, who died
young, Rev. John Bartow and Helena, his wife, had
six children, as follows : —

John Bartow, 1740-18I6.
Son of Theophilus Bartow.
JOHN BARTOW,^ eldest son of Theophilus Bartow
and Bathsheba Pell, his wife, born at Westchester
1740, lived at Pelham, in the old Manor House of his
grandfather, Lord Pell. He was wealthy, and a great
friend to St. Peter's Church, Westchester, of which he
was vestryman. At the old manorial residence, of his
ancestors, Mr. Bartow kept open house to all his rela-
tives and friends, and his home was the centre of attrac-
tion to the society of the neighborhood, from the hearty
welcome they always received. Col. Burr, who had
married his first coasin, was an intimate friend and
frequent visitor at the house. It was at Mr. Bartow's
house, after his removal to N. Y. City, that Burr was
kindly received after his return from exile. Mr. Bartow
sold his estate towards the close of his life, and lived in
Spring street, N. Y. He died in 1816, and was the
last of the Bartows who was interred in the family
cemetery at Westchester. The funeral was attended
by Robert Bartow, his grandson, the Reids of East-
chester, and many others of the family. The family
of Robert Bartow now reside on a portion of the estate

laying out of streets, erected the first brownstone house
in Brooklyn, and built at his own cost the stone arch-
ways and inclined plane from the Heights to the East

who delivered the funeral sermon in memory of Mr.
Bartow, shortly after his death, concluded with this

" May he sleep in peace ; and when God shall call him,

son of James Hicks. — Commvnicated by Mr. Benj. D. Hicks, who is pre-

E Y D E E, .
I do not know the correct spelling of the name. In the " N. Y. Mar-
riage Licenses" I find the wife of John Bartow is given as Mary Ryder.*
Two of their children (Augustus and Stephen) have names which occur
for the first time in the Bartow fomily. I conclude that they are derived
from their motlier's family. Accordingly, 1 find a Stephen Rider, of the
Presbyterian church at Januuca, in 1713, and another Stephen Rider, of
Jamaica, in 1775. Mrs. John Bartow had a sister, Letitia Ryder, who
resided with Basil J. Bartow, at Westchester.

NOTES.
lu Bolton's History of the Clinrch in Westchester County, p. 38, occurs
the name Noah Bartow. Ou examination of the original, the AVest-
rhester Vestry Book, the name is distinctly written, Noah Barton.
P. 376 of the same book occurs the name Benjamin Biutow. This name
is Benjamin Barton, who was well known to the Reids and others of East-
chester.
In Browne's Commemorative Discourse, Edgar J. Bartow is said to have
been baptised at Fishkill by Dr. Brown. His sister told me that she
distinctly remembers the family driving over to their grandfather at Pel-
ham Manor, where Edgar was baptised by Parson Bartow, and named
"John" after his grandfather, John Bartow, of Pelham Manor, and
" Edgar" after William Edgar, an intimate friend of the latter.

INTRODUCTION.
The Bartows of Westchester were always a clannish
family, and in the last century each member was ac-
quainted with and visited every other member. The
older members of the family were fond of talking of the
past, and relating anecdotes of their ancestors. This was
especially the case with old Uncle John, as he was
familiarly called by the family, who lived to the year
1802, at the advanced age of 87, beloved by all his
nephews and nieces, whom he always addressed as cousins.
This love of family history my father inherited and
transmitted to me.
At an early age I became interested in family mat-
ters,, and when twelve years old I began collecting mate-
rial for a future genealogy. I first gathered as much as
1 could from aged members of the family, who told me
anecdotes of various members, gave me old books, old
letters, and other family relics. Then 1 corresponded with
many, visited many churchyards and copied inscriptions
on tombstones, and obtained copies of family bibles, wills and
parish records.
It was my hope to have published what 1 had col-
lected in a book to be enriched with numerous engrav-

churches, with biographies of various members, their let-
ters and wills. On account of the great expense in
printing, the project was abandoned for a time.
Soon after, Mr. Morey H. Bartow offered to interest
the family towards its publication. Accordingly, I turned
over to him all I had gathered on the subject, to which
he made many additions.
Meanwhile, with his permission, I printed a few copies
of a pamphlet, entitled " Introductory to a Bartow Gene-
alogy," not intended as a genealogy, but merely an index
of all bearing the surname of Bartow, with the sources
of information, for the benefit of any future historian of
the family, should either of us fail to complete our work
during our life.
The following book is intended to be to some extent
the carrying out of what I have intended from my
earliest years, as expressed in the introduction to my
pamphlet. The arrangement is by generations; daughters,
however, and sons, who leave no family, appearing only
in the generation of their father.

The Family in France.
GENERAL BEIITAUT,^ the first of the family of
whom we have an account, removed from Bre-
tagne on account of the religious persecutions, and
settled in England. It has been supposed that he fled
at the time of the revocation of the edict of Nantes,
A. D. 1685, till recent investigation showed that* the
family were in England many years before. He may
have left France after the Massacre of S. Bartholomew,
A. D. 1572.
It has been the tradition in the family that he
came from Bretagne ; and the arms^ of the family,
which several of the members possessed in the last
century, agree with those of the ancient house of the
Bertauts of Bretagne, whose ancestor was one of those
valiant soldiers who distinguished himself in the Holy
Wars. The arms of the Bertauts of Bretagne are D'or
a le hande de sable, chargee de trois bezants d argent
accompagnee de six annelets de geides suis en orle. Of
this name was Francis Bertaut, of Donnai, whose son,

3, No. 1, 30 ; Stiles' Hist, of Brooklyn, iii, 672 ; Drowne's Commemorative Discourse.
2) Anthony Bartow, who died in 1790, had a coat of arms of the family. Mr.
Robert Bolton told me that on some of the papers of the late Basil J. Bartow were
seals charued with the arms of the family. In the Johnston family is a photograph
of the Bartow arms, taken from an old seal. " Old Uncle John " told the Keids, my
grandmother, and others, that the family name was Bertaut, and that they came from
Brittany.
8 BARTOW GENEALOGY.
John Bertaut, was chaplain to Cathariije de Medici,
and Bishop of Seez in 1606, and died June 8, 1611,
aged 59 years. Pierre Bertaut, another son of Francis,
was lord of Noisy and Gentleman of the King's
Chamber ; he married Louisa de Bessin de Mathon-
ville, of a noble Spanish family, and was father of
Frances Bertaut, the celebrated Lady Motteville, train-
bearer to Queen Anne of Austria, ;uirl fir-it piglet drr
bliumbiij lu.Li.iuiiL XIV, bulL in 1011, and died with-
out issue in 1689. Her brother, Francis Bertaut, born
at Paris, in 1621, was Seigneur de Freauville and
Courcelles, and Oounseiller of the Parliament of Paris.
By his wife, Maria de la Garde, he had a son, John
Bertaut, Seigneur de Freauville and Courcelles.
The tradition in all branches of the family has been
that we descended from a General Bertaut, who came
from Brittany and settled in England ; and the family
always took it for granted that he was the father of
Rev. John Bartow, the first of the family who came to
America. From investigation made by my father,
Edgar J. Bartow, it appears that General Bertaut was
a remoter ancestor, and not the father of Rev. John
Bartow. Before this investigation was made, appeared
the pedigree of the Bartow family in Bolton's "His-
tory of Westchester County," making the Rev. John
Bartow the son of the General. This pedigree was
BARTOW GENEALOGY. 9
furnished by Edgar J. Bartow to Mr. Bolton, from one
written by Rev. Jobn V. Bartow, now in possession of
bis daughter, Mrs. Francis T. Montell, of Astoria. It
has some inaccuracies — they will appear by a compari-
son of it with the following pages. The first attempt
at anything like family research was made by Edgar J.
Bartow, who had the matriculation book of Christ
College, England, examined, where Rev. John Bartow
was educated, to find the place of his birth. From
these records he learned that the Rev. John Bartow
was born at Crediton, in Devonshire, and was the son
of Doctor Thomas Bartow, of the same place. This
correction Mr. Bolton makes in his "History of the
Church in Westchester County." Business prevented
Mr. Bartow from making further inquiries about mat-
ters in which he took such an interest. In the month
of June, 1871, I visited the native place of the first
emigrant to this country. All that I could gather in
reference to the family is embodied in these pages. I
found recorded the baptisms of the children of Doctor
Thomas Bartow, but not his own, from which I
inferred that he had moved into the parish. General
Bertaut, of Brittany, it is probable, came into Eng-
land after the Massacre of S. Bartholomew, A. D.
1572, and would be the father, or more likely the
grandfather, of Dr. Thomas, of Crediton.

Second Generation,
T^OCTOR THOMAS BAHTOW,^ the first of the
family of whom we have any record, was a son
or grandson of General Bertaut, of Brittany, in France,
and was living at Crediton, in England, in 1672. His
wife Grace * * *, was buried in the churchyard of the
Holy Cross, Crediton, January 25, 1676.
CHILDEEN.
1. John Bai'tow, of whom in the third generation.
2. Anthony Bartow,^ baptized March 11, 1673, in the
Church of the Holy Cross, Crediton, and there
buried May 20, 1675.
3. Mary Bartow,^ ba^Dtized December 8, 1675, in the
Church of the Holy Cross, Crediton ; married
Doctor Haskins, of England.
4. Thomas Bartow,* baptized April 24, 1676, in the
Church of the Holy Cross, Crediton, and there
buried November 12, 1678. The date of this
burial may be that of the father, as we find the
name afterwards in England^ and as Doctor Bar-
tow's burial is not recorded otherwise in Crediton,
though he may have died at Pampisford, where
his son was vicar before removal to this country.
The burial records of Pampisford for that period
are lost.

14 BARTOW GENEALOGY.
In the churchyard of the Holy Cross, Crediton, is a
tombstone to Elisabeth Barto,^ who died at Crediton in
1858. The inscription, which I copied June 29, 1871,
is as follows :
Sanctus
ad
memoriam
Elisabeth Barto,
the beloved wife of Wni, Backvvell,
who departed this life
August 10th, 1858,
Aged 34 years.
On inquiry, I learned that Barto was her middle name,
she being the daughter of Robert Melhuish, of Sand-
ford, the son of Thomas Melhuish and Elisabeth Barto,
and named after her grandmother. I learned from
Mrs. Elisabeth Tucker, of Exeter, another grand-
daughter of Thomas Melhuish and Elisabeth Barto,
that their grandmother, Elisabeth Barto, was born in
1746, brought up at Dartmoor, and died at Crediton.
She had no brother ; her only sister, Martha Barto,
died unmarried, and she herself used to tell the family
that she was " the only living inheritor of the name in
England." If the record of the burial of Thomas Bar-
tow in 1678, be that of Doctor Thomas Bartow, then
1) N. Y. Gen. Eec, July, 1874.
BAETOW GENEALOGY. 15
Thomas, the son, may possibly be the grandfather of
this Elisabeth Barto, who married Thomas Melhuish
about 1768, and was the grandmother of Mrs. Elisabeth
Barto Backwell, who lies buried in Crediton.
Crediton is an ancient market town, situated between
two hills, on the banks of the river Greedy, and divided
into two parts, called the East and West towns. Dur-
ing the times of the Saxons it was the see of a bishop
and a place of grea.t importance, but in 1049 the see
was removed to Exeter. I visited Crediton in the year
1871, reaching the town at 4.29 P. M. June 29. I
took a look in the church, strolled around the grave-
yard, and found the tombstone of Elisabeth Barto
Backwell, and called on the vicar, Rev. C. "Felton
Smith, who promised to show me the records the
next day after morning service. Afterwards I saw
the handsome new schools, the free grammar school,
founded in the sixteenth century, and other objects of
interest. The following day, Friday, June 30, 1 attended
matins in the Church of the Holy Cross, which were
said in the Lady Chapel by the vicar. The church is a
spacious structure in the later Gothic style, built in the
fifteenth century. It consists of a nave and two aisles,
with a tower 100 feet high, rising from a semicircular
arch in the centre of the building, supported by four
16 BARTOW GENEALOGY.
massive pillars. The vicar pointed out the large win-
dows, decorated with rich tracery, at the east and west
ends, the former with scenes from the life of S. Boni-
face, the apostle of Germany, who was born in this
town in 680 ; also the fine old Norman font in the
south transept. There were several fine monuments,
one of Sir William Periam, chief Baron of the Ex-
chequer, with his effigy in his judge's robes ; of John
Tuckfield, who died in 1630, with his effigy in a ruff
between two medallions ; and other memorials of par-
ishioners, Francis Prowze, Esq., 1696 ; Francis, his
son, 1676 ; Mary, wife of John Tuckfield, co-heiress of
Pyncombe, 1675: Walter Tuckfield, 1676; William
Shilton, Gent., 1684, aged 90 ; Charles Mundy, Esq.,
1725; and Giles Yarde, Esq., 1790. Afterwards the
vicar got the records, and brought them to his house,
where, after a careful search, I found only the fol-
lowing :
Baptisms :
1673, ^larch 11. Anthony, the son of Mr. Thomas Bar-
tow, Doctor.
1675, Dec. 8. Mary, the daughter of Mag'tr Thos,
Bartow.
1676, April 24. Thomas, the son of Mr. Thomas Bartow.
Marriages :
None of any Bartow.

1676, Jan. 25. Grace, the wife of Mr. Thomas Bartow.

This is all I could discover of the name. At the
west end of the town is the decayed church of St. Law-
rence, but no records are preserved, nor are there any old
records whatever connected with the grammar school
or the town. Crediton was anciently the principal seat
of the woollen manufacture ; the principal now is that
of shoemaking, some hundred persons being employed
out of a population of only about 5,000.
The records of the parishes of Colebrooke and Sand-
ford make no mention of any of the name of Bartow,
Barto, or Bertaut.

Third Generation,

PARISH CHURCH OF PAMPISFORD.
From an ink sketch taken, before it \va# restored, about 30 years ago.
■pEV. JOHN BARTOW,^ A. M., the first of the
family in this country, was born at Crediton, Dev-
onshire^ England, A. D. 1673 f was son of Doctor Thomas
Bartow, of that place. At an early age he was instructed
by one Mr. Gregory, entered Christ College, Cambridge,^
Jan. 31, 1689, where he was admitted a sizar under Mr.
Lovett, and graduated in 1692. Entering the ministry,
he became Curate of Pampisford, in Cambridgeshire, in
1694, to which church he was inducted Vicar, May 28,
1697. An original sermon preached at this place in
1700, on S. Luke ii. 13, 14, is in my possession.
Pampisford lies about seven miles nearly south of Cam-
bridge, and in 1801 contained 35 houses, 46 families,
and 202 persons. Through the kindnesie of the vicar,

2 1 The name of the father of Rev. John, the place of his birth, and date, are
obtained from the Records ot Christ's College, England. The date of his birth, how-
ever, does not. necessarily follow from the translation of these records, to be in the
year 1673, as Mr. Bolton gives it. From his being made Curate in 1694, his birth
would seem to have taken place several years earlier, say in 1670. His baptism is not
found in the records of the Church of the Holy Cross, Crediton.
3) The following is the extract from the admission book of Christ College,
obtained by Edgar J. Bartow from Joseph Rorailly in a letter to my father dated
21 February, 1849, now in my possession:— 1689. Jan. 31mo., Joannes Bartow Thomae
filius in lucem editus apud Crediton in Comitatu Devoiiiensi, Uteris ibidem institutus a
Mro. Gregory, annos natus sedeeem admissus est Sizalor sub Mro. Lovett.
22 BARTOW GENEALOGY.
W. J. Josling, the records were searched in 1871. Mr.
Bartow's name occurs as early as 1694, when he was
curate till 1697, when he was appointed vicar.^ The
following entry occurs : — " Mr. Brown Curit left on the
10th of June, 1694." Mr. Bartow's name occurs many
times in the register for baptisms from 1694 onwards,
and often in the register of marriages. On the 30th of
August, 1694, a wedding was performed by Mr. Barto,
the only time the lo is omitted from the name. The last
marriage by Mr. Bartow occurs in 1702. In the
account of collections in the church in 1698, the name
of John Bartow Vicar is given under date of March 27.
The register of burials is lost. I also obtained from
the vicar photographs of the church before and after the
restoration, of the vicarage, of the village, and of Pam-
pisford Hall, the seat of William Parker Hamond, Esq.
The inhabitants of Westchester, New York, having
requested the services of a minister of the Church of
England, the Propagation Society made choice of Mr.
Bartow for that purpose, who thereupon removed to
America by leave of his Diocesan, Simon Patrick, Lord
Bishop of Ely, having been licensed by Henry, Bishop
of London, to officiate in the province of New York,
1) See Rev. John Bartow's answers to the queries of the Bishop of London,
Hawk's MSS., quoted in Bolton's W. Ch.
BAETOW GENEALOGY. 23
June 22, 1702.^ The subsequent labors of Mr. Bartow
shewed the choice of the Society to have been well
made. Col. Caleb Heathcote, in a letter to the secre-
tary of that Society, dated Nov. 9th, 1705, says: —
"There is not any gentleman whom the Society hath
sent over that is clothed with a fairer character than
Mr. Bartow, of Westchester, and truly he is a very good
and sober man, and is extremely well-liked and spoken
of by his parishioners in general."
After a voyage of eleven weeks, Mr. Bartow arrived
at New York, Sept. 29, 1702, and on the 19th of the
following November was inducted^ into the Parish and
Church of Westchester, Eastchester, Yonkers, and
Manor of Pelham. The Parish contained only about
2000 souls, and £50 per annum was levied for the
support of the Priest. In 1704, the trustees of West-
chester voted Mr. Bartow, as a free gift of the town, " a
certain piece of land at the rear of his house-lot."
Besides in his own parish, Mr. Bartow performed mis-
sionary duty at Hempstead and Jamaica, on Long
Island, at Shrewsbury, Freehold, Amboy and other
places in New Jersey. It was during his visits to

Freehold that he became acquainted with the family of
John Reid, whose daughter, Helena, he married at Free-
hold, Sept. 17, 1705. Several sermons^ of Rev. John
Bartow are in my possession, one of which I gave to
Mr. Morey H. Bartow. From the Society's abstracts,
we learn that " in 1714, by the blessing of God on Mr.
Bartow's ministry at Westchester, Eastchester, Yonkers,
and the Manor of Pelham, where there were formerly
very few of the Church communion, there was visibly
very great reformation of manners." In 1722, April 6,
he purchased of John Mash the farm recently owned by
Mr. Hatfield, where he resided till his death. Here in
the family burial ground most of his children were in-
terred. Mr. Bartow made his last will and testament
Jan. 24, 1724,^ which was proved April 1, 1727.
Probably his last communication to the Society was
Oct. 6, 1725, soon after which he died. " Mr. Bartow

important duties for the long period of a quarter of a
century. He was the instrument of bringing many-
separatists back to the Church, and admitting into it
many hitherto careless adults. He likewise gave much
of his time to the instruction of the poor negroes. By
such long and faithful services he secured the general
esteem of his people."
Rev. John Bartow, by Helena Reid, his wife, had ten
children, all sons, namely, besides George,^ who died
young, and three who died in infancy, Thomas, Theo-
philus, Theodosius, John, Anthony and Basil, a short
account of each of whom will be given in the fourth
generation.

Fourth Generation.
mHOMAS BARTOW,^ son of Rev. John Bartow,
was born at Westchester, October 22, 1709 ; his
father bequeathed him 1100 acres of land in Mon-
mouth County, New Jersey, all his Greek and Latin
books, and his watch. He removed to New Jersey in
early life, and settled in Amboy, where he practised
law. In 1735, he became clerk of the Supreme and
Chancery Courts, and clerk of Assembly in 1741.
During Lord Stirling's absence in Europe, he became
Surveyor- Greneral of East Jersey, and, in 1762, clerk of
the Surveyor-General's office. The following account
of Thomas Bartow is condensed from the works of
Dunlap :
Thomas Bartow was a small, thin, old mau, with straight
gray hair, pale face, dark-coloured clothes, and stockings
to suit. His well-polished, square-toed shoes were orna-
mented with silver buckles, and his white cambric stock,
neatly plaited, was fastened behind with a silver clasp.
When he walked, a cane with an ivor}^ head aided his steps,
which halted through age and rheumatism. His appearance
was truly venerable. His house stood at a corner of Market

Square — none other near it — and the Green before it. It was
surrounded on three sides by a gai'den, with the best fruits our
climate affords. His person, his house, his garden, were
equally neat. I, and I alone, had the full command of the
two last, and verj^ nearly of the fii'st. His countenance, ever
mild, was towards me kind and cheerful. Invariably I found
the venerable man alone, seated by a small table, and his spec-
tacles on his nose gladly lifted to welcome one who was yet
untainted by the world which he seemed to shun. The boy was
his companion at home, and his only companion when he rode
or walked abi'oad. In winter, he gambolled about the room
while the old man read ; or was sent into the garret to bring
down dried grapes, which hung on frames, carefully preserved
after ripening on the vines in his garden ; or took the key of
his library and selected books to place on the table before him,
that he might explain the pictures or tell the stories. In
summer, the favoured boy had the range of tbe garden and the
choice of the fruits, with the same course of instruction from
his books and his lips. Thus, before I could read, Pope's
Iliad, Dryden's Virgil, Milton's Paradise Lost, were familiar to
me as to the fable and incident, and every plate was patiently
explained, and the passages read and reflected. While every
other house was encumbered by negroes, and every family
degraded by the pi-esence of slaves, his alone was free from
the stain. Two domestics, both white and free, served and
were seiwed by him. One i*espectable old female managed his
household concerns, and was as neat, but not as free from
frowns, as himself; and a rustic youth attended to the stable
and old Sorrell, the garden, the wood-pile, and the square-toed
shoes, and he sawed wood — at every other house the axe was
used for cutting. The rebellion of 1775 was the cause of my
losing my earliest friend. I followed him towards the Eari-
tan, on which he was to embark, and lingered until he desired
me to return home. I never saw him again, except in my
dreams. Through a long life his image has visited my hours
of sleep. At his death I was mentioned in his will.
BARTOW GENEALOGY. 31
At the breaking out of the war of the Revolution,
he went to reside with his son, Thomas, who lived in
Philadelphia, and made his will, May 12, 1779. He
died at Bethlehem, Penn., December 3, 1782, and
was buried in the graveyard of the Moravian Church,
separated, however, from the main body of graves, not
being a member of the Moravian Church. The marble
slab to mark the spot is about 16 by 24 inches, tolerably
white, and the inscription in very good order, as fol-

34 BARTOW GENEALOGY.
Issue of Thomas Bartow :
Thomas Bartow, only child, born 1736, of whom in
the fifth generation.
Theophilus Bartow,^ son of Kev. John Bartow,
was born at "Westchester, about 1710. His father
bequeathed him his saw-mill in Monmouth County,
N. J., with 1000 acres of land in the same county,
and his least gold ring. He lived at Westchester,
on the farm afterwards known as the estate of John
I. Palmer, consisting of about 250 acres. Here he
resided till his death ,^ and after the death of his widow,
his son. Parson Bartow, bought out his brothers, and
put his son, Andrew, there. Th&ophilus Bartow married
Bathsheba, daughter of Thomas Pell, Lord of the
Manor of Pelham, son of Sir John Pell, of London, by
whom he had ten children. Mr. Bartow took an active
part in Church affairs, and was one of the Vestry of
S. Peter's Church. He died at Westchester, and was
buried in the old family ground.
This family cemetery I visited July 3, 1865. I had
learned that there were no signs of a cemetery, except
a few stones there, which I found to be correct. Mr.

Abraham Hatfield, on whose farm the cemetery was,
told me that, when he first purchased the farm, about
twenty years before, his man found the cemetery en-
closed by a fence, with several mounds and tombstones
therein. He had the place ploughed, after the fence had
been removed, and the headstones thrown aside.
When the Bartows sold their place, this burial spot
was excepted in the sale ; and, in proof of this, we find
that it had been undisturbed by the parties from whom
Mr. Hatfield purchased the farm. The Misses Reid, of
Eastchester, visited it some forty years before, and
beheld there a cemetery, enclosed and in order. They
told me of several persons buried there within their
memory, namely, Anthony Bartow, in 1791, John Bar-
tow, in 1802, John Bartow, in 1816, and others, whose
funerals they attended. When little children, they ran
up the road, and stood at the mouth of Reid's Lane,
to watch the funeral procession of their Aunt Bath-
sheba, as it came along from New E.ochelle on its way
to the ground.
Robert Bartow, of Pelham, saw the interment of
his grandfather, John, in 1816. Miss Manilla Bartow
visited the spot, also her sister, Mrs. Bolton. My father
also remembers the cemetery, and all the older mem-
bers of the family, I believe, have seen the place. In
36 BARTOW GENEALOGY.
my visit to the spot, I copied the inscription on the
white marble stone of Mrs. Susannah Bartow Gilles-
pie.
In 1722, the farm was purchased by Rev. John Bar-
tow of John Mash, and a small spot reserved for the
interment of his family. After the death of the Rev.
John Bartow, his widow resided here with her youngest
son, Basil, till her death, when Basil owned the Home-
stead.
The following extract from Basil Bartow's will,
relates to the Bartow cemetery •}
Fifthly, I give and bequeath unto my son, Basil John Bar-
tow, and to his heirs and assigns forever, all my lands called the
Homestead, with the buildings and improvements made thei-eon
(excepting a piece of land in the field on the hill, adjoining
the old orchard, of three rods square, two rods in the field
westward and one rod eastward into the orchard, as it is
staked out, for a burying-ground for myself, my children, and
their heirs, brothers, and their families, if they shall choose to
bury there, which I hereby give and grant for the aforesaid
use of a burying-ground forever, with the privilege of passing to
and from the King's road through the old orchard to the said
burying-ground, without molestation or hindrance), etc.
The witnesses to the will were Theophilus Bartow,
William Bartow, and Augustus Bartow.

Surrogate from 1754 to 1761, and many years clerk of
the county. He was very fond of family matters, and
told many things to several members of the family,
from whom I heard them. The Reids, of Eastchester,
and my uncles, Robert and Wilham, remembered him
well, and told me many things about him. Old Uncle
John had white hair, wore shorts and buckled shoes,
and a cane. He used to ride about Westchester on his
black pony, and received the greatest respect from all
the inhabitants.
Late in life he took to writing meditations, which
are now in my possession. His writing them was prob-
ably suggested by a book, well-worn and fingered,
called "Meditations of S. Augustine," once the property
of this old gentleman, given to me by Miss Reid, of
Eastchester, to whom he had presented it.
He assisted his brother, Basil Bartow, in teaching
school from 1744 to 1763, and probably lived with him
and their mother at the Homestead. On the death of
his mother and the marriage of the brother, he followed
the mill business. In 1776, June 19, he purchased of
Adolph Waldron the mill and 60 acres at Eastchester,
which he sold partly to John Reid, July 10, 1794, and
partly to Thomas Bartow, the latter selling out to Mr.
Reid, November 27, 1801.
BARTOW GENEALOGY. 41
John Bartow continued to live with his brother, An-
thony, till his death in 1790, when he retired from
business, and resided until his death with Mrs. Clarina
Bar-tow, whom he always addressed as "Cousin."
This place adjoined the farm of his brother, Theophilus,
on the road to Westchester, and in his wilV dated
March 8, 1802, he bequeathed " to Augustus Bartow
the land where he and I now live." Mrs. Clarina Bar-
tow was the favorite niece of old Uncle John, and when
she was miirried he took her to live with him. In this
way some of his things are preserved in our branch of
the family. His watch (probably his father's watch
before him^) is in the possession of Mr. William A.
Duncan, the eldest grandson of Clarina Bartow. In
my possession, besides his Meditations and S. Augus-
tine's Meditations, is an old book, dated 1715, on the
Apostles' Creed, perhaps once the property of his
father ; also a pair of light scales.
Mr. Bartow died unmarried, at Westchester, in 1802,
" beloved 'and respected by all who knew him," and
was interred in the family cemetery.
The following, written by John Bartow, is copied
from his Meditations :

42 BAETOW GENEALOGY.
My father was brought up in England, and had his educa-
tion in Christ's College, in Cambridge. He was an ordained
minister of the Gospel in the Protestant Episcopal Church,
and was sent over to Westchester by the Society for the Pro-
pagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, where he continued
a minister of the Gospel for upwards of twenty years, until
he died. 1 believe I may say he was a faithful one in Christ.
My mother was from Scotland, of a good, respectable
family. She came over young, and lived in New Jersey, at a
place called Freehold.
When my father died he left six sons. I believe I was
about nine or ten years old when he died. My mother was a
sober, religious woman, very industrious and frugal, and
brought up her children in the discipline and admonition of
the Lord.
She kept me to school till I could read, write, and cipher
common arithmetic, and then I followed farming business till
I was twenty years old. Then I went and lived with a coun-
sellor at law, and continued with him upward of four years.
I followed the law business a little while, but it was very
disagreeable to me, so I quit it. I took to merchandizing
with one of my brothers, and assisted him in tending a school
for about nineteen years.
My mother lived with us till she was near eight}- years old,
when she died, full of faith and love in Christ.
Then I followed mill business, and had two publick offices
to attend and take care of, until the contest arose between
Old England and America. And, as I lived between the
armies of Great Britain and America, I thought it best to
move about fifty miles up in the country, where I continued
about a year, and then returned back to my home, the two
armies being separated, but still I lived between the lines with
one of my brothers.^ We lived in great distress for about six

BARTOW GENEALOGY. 43
years. I was weak and infirm, and had an imposthurae
gathered under ray short ribs inside. It broke and dis-
charged— upwai'd and downward, my life despaired of for
several days. But it pleased God to recover me, I con-
tinued infirm for several years. 1 thought it would not be
prudent for me to keep house again, being far advanced in
years and a single person. I should have been married when
I was between twenty and thirty years old, but I missed it,
and now, being old and infirm, I continued to live with one of
my bi'others' until he died, and then I lived with one of my
cousins, and quitted all worldly business.^ And being by
Divine grace and the power of the Holy Ghost brought under
conviction to see my own vileness and deformity and noth-
ingness as of myself, and that it was by grace thro' faith in
Christ and in Ills atoning blood and merits that I cou'd be
saved, and this is His gift, I betook myself, according to the
ability that God gave unto me by His Son, to write upon the
boundless love of God to poor sinful man, in sending His Son
into the world to redeem the world ; for God so loved the
world, etc., and of the boundless love of Christ to us poor lost
sinners, dead in trespasses and sins b}^ our wicked works, that
His Divine nature should take our human nature upon Him,
being born of a pure virgin by the power of the Holy
Ghost,' lived here on earth man}' years doing good, and
verified Himself to be the Son of God by signs and won-
ders, miracles and gifts of the Holy Ghost, and afterwards
freely and voluntarily gave up His human life a ransom
for us, b}^ dying for our sins and rising again for our
justification, and now lives at the right hand of God to
make intercession for us poor lost sinners.
I say, by Divine grace, and according to the ability that
God by His Son Jesus Christ gave unto me, I took to writing
upon these heavenly things, and still do continue to write

upon them at times, and learning of children ; poor, worth-
less wretch as I am, not worthy to look upon Thee, my Ee-
deem.er, but still I have hopes that Thou wilt save me, who
am now in the eighty-fifth year of my age. Glory be to God.
My brothers are all deceased, and left numerous familys of
children and grandchildren. I believe it Avill be best for
young men to marry when they are between twenty and
thirty years old, and for youn^ women to marry at any time
after they are fifteen yeai-s old, provided they have a good
opportunity, with the advice and consent of their parents.
When I consider the mutual love and endearments between men
and their wives thro' faith in Christ, I think the married state
is much more preferable than the single state of a foolish old
bachelor. Wherefore, I would advise people to marry as
above is sot forth.
Some account of my life and of the love of Christ to me
and all mankind. March 1st, 1800.
Oct. 2d, 1800. I have often wished that I was united to a
person of an affable temper and a sweet disposition, sensible
and discrete, endued with charity and modest}^ and meekness,
one whose heart is overwhelmed with Divine love towards
God and towards men thro' faith in Christ, by a love reflected
from His pure love, that I might be made sensible of the plea-
sure and agreement of those who live in unity and godly love
with each other. But I was not worthy of such felicity, or I
believe the Lord of heaven and earth wou'd have given me
such a wife. For when husband and wife are united together
by mutual love and endearments, thro' faith in Christ, they
can open their hearts to each other in all the changing scenes
of this mortal life.
BARTOW GENEALOGY, 45
Hon. Anthony Bartow,^ Alderman of West-
chester, eiglitli son of the Kev. John Bartow, was
born at AVestchester in 1716. To him his father
bequeathed all his lands on the Monlapan river,
New Jersey, with all his tract of Indian purchase
southward. He lived on his farm at Westchester,
below his brother, Theophilus, and across the road
leading to the town ; this was afterwards the estate
of Robert Givans, Esq., and purchased by Henry,
son of John I. Palmer.
In 1746, Anthony Bartow married Charity, daughter
of William Stevenson, a young lady of the age of four-
teen, who bore him four sons and seven daughters.
During the Revolutionary War, he was much annoyed
by the lawless deeds of the Cow-boys and Skinners,
who cruelly treated him, notwithstanding his age. On
one occasion they forced him out of the house and
threatened to hang him for refusing them money, but
his wife interposed and saved his life.
He made his will, February 25, 1789, and soon after
died at his residence, and was buried in the old family
ground at Westchester, December, 1790.

Mr. Bartow was a leading member of the Moravian

mansion and residence of Thomas Bartow, a very
respectable merchant of his day." This house when it
was erected was one of the wonders of the town, and

56 BARTOW GENEALOGY.
John Bartow,^ eldest son of TheopLilus and Bath-
sheba Bartow, was born at Westchester, in 1740, and
lived at Pelham, in the old Manor House of his grand-
father, Lord Pell. He was wealthy, and a great friend
to S. Peter's Church, "Westchester, of which he was
vestryman. Mr. Bartow was six feet high, very digni-
fied in appearance, courteous and affable in manner.
At the old manorial residence of his ancestors, Mr.
Bartow kept open house to all his relatives and friends ;
and his home was the centre of attraction in the society
of the county, from the hearty welcome they always
received. Col. Burr, who had married his first cousin,
was an intimate friend and frequent visitor at the house.
It was at Mr. Bartow's house, after his removal to New
York City, that Burr was kindly received after his
return from exile. Mr. Bartow sold his estate in 1811, to
Mr. Leroy, for about $28,000, and lived in Spring Street,
New York, where he died in 1816. He was interred, how-
ever, in the family cemetery at Westchester, the last of the
Bartows who were buried there. The funeral was at-
tended by Robert Bartow, his grandson, the Reids of
Eastchester, and many others of the family. The family
of Robert Bartow resided on a portion of the estate of
John Bartow. A. short distance from their residence is

Rev. Theodosius Bartow/ second son of Theophilus
Bartow, known as Parson. Bartow, was born at West-
chester, Nov. 26,1747; m.Nov. 19, 1772, in New York,
Jemima Abramse, by whom he had eight sons and
three daughters.
During; the Revolution, he and Andrew Fowler acted
as lay-readers in Trinity Church, New Rochelle, and in
1786 acted alone as lay-reader till he took Holy Orders.
He and Mr. Fowler were the first Delegates to the
Diocesan Convention from New Rochelle. In 1788,
November 5, at a Convention of the Church held in New
York, it was resolved,
That the thanks of the Convention be returned to Mr. Bar-
tow, for his services as Eeader in the Episcopal Church at New
Eochelle, that the Convention esteem him eminently useful in
the Church in that situation, and wish him to continue therein
and as the}^ have the highest sense for his zeal for religion
and just respect for his moral character, they would recv.m
mend his application to such studies as may qualify him for
Holy Orders in conformity to the Constitution of the Church
and that a copy of these resolutions be delivered to Mr. Bar-
tow by the Secretary, in testimony of the approbation of this
Convention.
The next year, at the earnest request of the congre-
gation, he applied for Holy Orders, and was ordained

wit : — The Vestiy of Trinity Church, New Rochelle, return
the Eev-. Theodosius Bartow their thanks for his long and
faithful services iti said Church, and request that he will accept

BARTOW GENEALOGY. 61
Theodosia Bartow,^ the only child of Theodosius
Bartow and Ann his wife, was born after her father's
death in 1746. Her father had desired that the child
should be named after himself, but being a girl, she
was called Theodosia Shortly after her mother mar-
ried a De Vismes, of a noble French family, by whom
she had, besides some daughters, two sons, Pierre and
Philippe. Old Phil de Vismes, as the Reids called
him, was a frequent visitor at their house.
In 1765, Theodosia m. Col. Frederick Prevost, a
British officer, a relative of Lieut. -Gen. Sir George Pre-
vost, Bart., of England, by whom she had James Augus-
tine Frederick Prevost, of Pelham, and Hon. John
Bartow Prevost.
Col. Prevost was with his regiment in the West
Indies, and " at Paramus, sixteen miles from where
Burr's regiment lay, there lived in modest elegance "
his family, consisting of "his wife Theodosia Prevost,
her sister Miss de Vismes, and their mother Mrs. de
Vismes, and the two little sons of Mrs. Prevost. The
ladies were accomplished and intelligent ; for a iong
time their house had been the centre of the most elegant
society of the vicinity, and after the Revolution had
begun, officers of rank in the American army still visited

them. The Hermitage, where Mrs. Prevost now re-
sided, had a considerable library of French books. The
lady was not beautiful. Besides being past her prime,
she was slightly disfigured by a scar on her forehead."
In 1779, Col. Prevost died at the West Indies, and
in 1782, July 2, Theodosia Bartow, his widow, mar-
ried Col. Aaron Burr. " It was the graceful and
winning manners of Mrs. Prevost that first capti-
vated the mind of Aaron Burr. She was, indeed, in
all respects, an estimable lady, affectionate, accom-
plished, and well versed in literature, and as much
given to the practice, as averse to the profession of
piety. Traditions of the old Hermitage still exist in
the vicinity. Some of the walls of the house are standing,
and serve as part of a modern structure. Stories of the
grand company that used to assemble at the Hermitage
are vaguely told by the older inhabitants, and descend-
ants of Mrs. Prevost reside a few miles from the old
estate, in an elegant abode, which contains interesting
memorials of the olden time."
Mrs. Burr's health, " soon after her husband turned
politician, began to fail ; and in the spring of 1794, death
relieved her of her sufferings." The Misses Reid, of
Eastchester, have spoken of her visits to their mother,
her cousin, and Miss Jane Bartow said the favourite
cousin of Mrs. Burr was her father, Thomas Bartow.

2. General Frances Stebbins Bartow,' born at Savannah, Sept.
6, 1816, and graduated at the University of Georgia, in
1835, with the highest honours of his class. He ra. L. * * *,
daughter of Hon. John McPherson Borrien, but had no
children. Completing his studies at the Law School, New
Haven, Conn,, he became a member of the well-known firm
of Law, Bartow & Lovell, Savannah. His first foi'ensic
effort was in a great bank case, in which he greatly distin-
guished himself by the logical force of his argument and
the power of his eloquence. Elected to the State Senate,
and serving sevei'al times in the House of Representatives,
he was afterwards the unanimous choice of the people of
Chatham County to represent them in the Convention
which carried Georgia out of the Union. Bold and un-
daunted when the time came to act, he was modest and
retiring under all other circumstances. He fell in the battle
of Bull Run, July 21, 1861. Soon after his arrival in Virginia,
he was appointed Colonel of the 8th Georgia Regiment,
and at the first battle of Manassas, he was commanding a
brigade, composed of the 7th, 8th, 9th and 11th Georgia,
and the 1st Kentucky regiments. A ball wounded him,
killing his horse under him, but, grasping the standard, and
mounting another horse, he waved his cap and cheered his
troops to come on. They followed. Another ball pierced
his heart, and falling, he exclaimed to those around him,
" They have killed me, but never give up the field."
Gen. Bartow was as marked in chai-acter as distinguished
for talent. He was ardent in friendship, sincere in his pro-
fessions, of a lofty sense of honour, generous in his impulses,
zealous in his devotion to truth, deeply imbued with the
religious sentiment, and cherishing a reverential regard for
all the institutions of religion. His style of oratory was
bold, earnest and impassioned. He was profound in his

legal attainments ; his literar}'' attainments were varied and
extensive, while his familiarity with the classics was inti-
mate. His perception and love for the beautiful in art and
nature were keen and warm, his imagination was rich and
glowing, and his thoughts were alwaj's fervid.
In July, 1861, Hon. T. E. E. Cobb, before the Congress of
the Confederate States, in session in Eichmond, pronounced
an eloquent eulogy on Gen. Bartow, after which the follow-
ing resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That Congress has heard, with unfeigned sorrow,
of the death of the Honourable Francis T. Bartow, one of
the delegates from the State of Geoi-gia ; that the natural
exultation for a glorious victory achieved by our arms is
checked by the heavy loss sustained by the Confederacy, in
the death of one of her most efficient counsellors ; and that,
as his colleagues, we feel a peculiar loss to ourselves, in one
who had won our esteem and gained our affection.
Resolved, That with pleasure we record our admiration of
his heroic defence on the field of battle, of the action of
Congress in which he participated so largely, and find some
consolation for his death in the conviction that his noble
self-sacrifice will serve to establish the work which he so
boldly aided to begin.
Resolved, That we appreciate the loss which Georgia, his
native State, has sustained in the death of one of her
noblest sons, and that we tender to the bereaved family the
sympathy of hearts, to some extent, stricken by the same
blow which has crushed their own.
Resolved, That in testimony of our respect for his
memory, the Congress do now adjourn.
The remains of Bartow were brought from the field, and
the public buildings of Savannah draped in mourning, while
they were escorted through the city by the military and
citizens. On the 28th of July, the funeral took place, and

Christ Church was thronged in every part, while the ser-

the remains were consigned to their resting place, with
military honours, in Laurel Grove Cemetery. Fort Bartow
was named in his honour during the war. His portrait

Savannah, and his name is perpetuated in Bartow County,

While Rector there he m. Matilda Wilson, daughter of
Archibald and Phoebe Helen Stewart, by whom he had
three sons and four daughters. They were married in
N. Y. City by Parson Bartow, in 1811 ; and, in 1815,
he was Rector of Trinity Church, Baltimore, till his
death, July 14, 1836, in Perth Amboy, while on a visit
to his brother-in-law, B. Maurice, Esq. After a lapse
of forty years, he is still remembered in Baltimore with
love and respect by the people among whom he laboured
so long and faithfully.
Mr. Bartow left a widow, two sons and three
daughters, to mourn the loss of the best and most loving
husband and father.
In Georgia, he reopened several churches that had
been closed since the war, and his work in Maryland
was a missionary work — his people were poor, and he
was to them both Father and Friend. As his life had
been one of self-sacrifice, his death was one of triumph.
Although suffering severe pain, he said that he heard
the harps of the Redeemed. In fall possession of his
faculties, and after sending loving messages to his
friends, he joyfully laid down the cross he had so cheer-
fully borne, in exchange for the crown promised to those
who overcome.

Edgar John Bartow,^ the fifth and youngest son of
Augustus and Clarina Bartow, was born at Fishkill,
N. Y., April 29, 1809r and baptized by Parson Bartow
at the house of his grandfather, at Pelham Manor.^ On
the death of his father, Mr. Bartow's family removed
in 1816 to New York, where Edgar attended Mr.
Barnes' Classical vSchool, and afterwards Mr. Starr's
school, at Danbury, Conn. Confirmed by Bishop
Hobart, he became a teacher in S. George's Sunday
School, N. Y. At an early age he engaged with his
brothers in the paper business, and became President
of the Chelsea Manufacturing Company, in Norwich,
Conn., the paper mills there being" the largest of their
kind in the world."
In 1830, he removed to Brooklyn, N. Y., where he
attended S. Ann's Church, and was a teacher in the
Sunday School. At S. Ann's Church, Nov. 13, 1838,
by Rev. Benjamin C. Cutler, the Eector, he was united
to Harriette Constable, daughter of H. B. Pierrepont, of

Pierrepont Hall, Brooklyn Heights, by whom he had
two sons and two daughters.
Mr. Bartow was much interested in public affairs.
He built a number of houses in Brooklyn, and the first
house with a brown-stone front was put up by him in
Pierrepont street. He took a warm interest in the lay-
ing out of streets, and was identified with every move-
ment that concerned the progress and improvement of
Brooklyn. "The eye of the stranger cannot fail to be
attracted by a fine road ascending by a gradual slope to
the height of sixty-four feet from the Brooklyn Ferry to
the town. This road is enclosed by walls of massive
masonry, and is due to his private enterprise," the
stone archways and inclined plane having been built at
an outlay of $45,000. In 1846, he was chosen by the
Democratic party as its candidate for Mayor ; but he
declined tlie honour, although he would beyond a doubt
have been elected. Thoroughly retired and domestic
in his tastes and habits, he shrank as far as possible
from public notice and commendation.
He was more deeply interested in the affairs of the
Church. In 1840, he purchased Calvary Church, in
Pearl street, and enlarged it also at his own expense.
A few years after, he commenced building the Church
of the Holy Trinity, corner of Clinton and Montague
BARTOW GENEALOGY. 97
streets, which was open for Divine service, Trinity Sun-
day, 1847. It had been his plan from his childhood to
build a church, and now he had realized his long-
cherished hopes. When, in 1856, having become in-
volved before he could complete the edifice and present
it to the Church, free, for the worship of the Blessed
Trinity, it passed from his hands, it inflicted a blow
from which he never entirely recovered. He continued
to reside in Brooklyn, although his business avocations
called him frequently to Norwich, Conn., to superintend
the operations of the Chelsea Manufacturing Company,
of which he was President ; and in 1863, he passed the
summer there with his family. It was at this time
that the anxieties of his large and harassing financial
obligations, and the repeated disappointments encoun-
tered in the prosecution of his plans, began perceptibly
to affect his health. His general health rapidly de-
clined, and, while on a visit to Morristown, N. J., he
sufiered an attack of paralysis, which proved fatal on
Tuesday, Sept. 6, 1864, about 4 P. M. The prayers of
the Church were ofiered at his funeral by Rev. Dr.
Hofi"man, on the following Friday, at the Church of the
Holy Trinity, amidst a large attendance of relatives
and friends ; and, with the parting utterances of the
Church he had loved so well, he was laid to rest in the
98 BARTOW GENEALOGY.
family grounds on Lawngirt Hill, in Greenwood. An
affectionate father, a kind and loving husband, a heart
ever open to the needy and desolate, of him it may be
said that he seldom thought of himself, but was always
planning for others. Unselfish, noble, generous, and
unsuspicious of evil, he was often misunderstood. May
he rest in peace and awake to a joyful resurrection.
On Sunday, Sept. 18, 1864, a sermon in memoriam
was preached in the Church of the Holy Trinity, by
Dr. Littlejohn, the Rector, of which the following is an
extract :
Text: " To die is gain." — Philippians i. 21. . . .
On the 9th inst. were borne from these courts, after the cus-
tomary services of the Church, the remains of Mr. Edgar J.
Bartow. Those of this congregation who knew him in former
years, and in his connection with this Church, will agree with
me, that it is not fitting that this event should pass unnoticed.
Having left the Parish before mj^ own Eectorship fairly
began, I regret that I cannot speak of him with a confidence
of a personal knowledge. The information, on what I shall
now say will be based, has been derived from, as I believe, an
impartial and authentic source.
Born in 1809, Mr. Bartow was of a family which for many
generations has been identified with the Church. The first of
them who came from England to this country was the Eev'd
John Bartow, a faithful Missionary of the Society for the
Pi-opagation of the Gospel in the English Colonies. Since his
day, various members of the family, as Clergymen or laymen,
have contributed much to the early growth of the Church in
BAETOW GENEALOGY. 99^
Baltimore, Perth Amboy, and Eastchester. In his youth, Mr.
Bartow was connected with S. George's, N. Y., then under the
Pastorate of Dr. Milnor. Subsequently, he became a member
of S. Ann's Parish, in this city, where he laboured with zeal
in the Sunday School. At an early age he became warmly
interested in the progress of our communion in Brooklyn. In
1840, he purchased a church in Pearl street, formerly owned
by the Baptists, and opened it for public services under the min-
istry of Rev. Dr. Lewis. So successful was this effort, that
the building had to be enlarged. In this good work, I have
been assured, Mr. Bartow not only contributed the structure,
but at first nearly all, and afterwards full one-half, the current
expenses of the Parish. Believing that a more elaborate and
commodious church edifice was needed in a central part of the
growing city, he commenced, on his own responsibility, the
Church of the Holy Trinity, in the summer of 1844. The
chapel was completed and opened on Trinity Sunday, June 7,
1846. The church proceeded rapidly, and on the third Sun-
day after Easter, April 25, 1847, the services were first cele-
brated within these walls. Ever since, it has been to strangers
an object of admiration and praise, and is likely long to con-
tinue without a rival in this community, in many of the nobler
features of the noblest architecture in which Christian Wor-
ship has taken up its home. Notwithstanding the ability of
the architect, it is claimed that this beautiful and impressive
structure owes many of its finest points to the thoughtful and
discriminating taste of Mr. Bartow. His plans were compre-
hensive and munificent, including not only Church, Chapel and
Rectory, but also a building for a Church day school, for Sunday
schools, and for charitable uses. His devotion to the work
which he had undertaken was unwearied, and his liberality was
unstinted, so much so as perhaps to overrun the limits of safety
and prudence. For some years he was the owner and sole
manager of the financial affairs of Holy Trinity, contributing
100 BARTOW GENEALOGY.
meanwhile all that was necessaiy to make the current income
adequate to the support of the church ; and jet he was one of
the most quiet and unobtrusive of the congregation. It
was his intention from the first eventually to complete this
edifice at his own expense, and present it to the congregation
free from debt. It was the pain and mortification of his life
that he was unable to do this. Owing to frequent and over-
whelming embarrassments, arising from extensive business
operations, his ownership of the church ceased some nine years
ago, and with it all hope of the final execution of his design.
It is not for me to attempt an}' analysis of his character as a
Christian and a man ; this must be the task of those who knew
him in the intimacies of his home, and the sacred privacy of
husband and father. It is enough on this occasion that he is
entitled to this tribute, because his name is ineffaceably graven
on these walls ; because it speaks from these lines of grace, these
fair proportions, these columns of strength, and yonder match-
less roof; because, with whatever mistakes and failures, he
had the brain and the heart to cling, through years of toil
and weariness, to a plan for the religious welfare of his kind,
noble enough to outlive cai'ping tongues, and to deserve the last-
ing homage of the community in which he lived. He has gone
— death has claimed him — may he rest in peace; and when God
shall call him, may he rise to a happy immortality, and I'e-
ceive that reward which he failed to find on earth. Amen.
An architectural description of the Church of the
Holy Trinity, the Chapel and Rectory, may be found
in Lafever's "Architectural Instructor," and also in the
appendix to a pamphlet, entitled "A Commemorative

Holy Trinity, Brooklyn, L. I., December 19, 1867.
With Illustrative Historical Notes : by the Rev. T.
Stafford Drowne, D. D., Rector of St. Paul's Church."
A biographical sketch of Edgar J. Bartow may be
found in the appendix to the above-mentioned Com-
memorative Discourse of Dr. Drowne ; also in a con-
densed form, with portrait, in Stiles' History of
Brooklyn.
In a publication entitled "The Wealthy Men and
Women of Brooklyn," occurs the following paragraph
relating to E. J. and C A. Bartow :
Few, if any, of our citizens are more distinguished for their
munificence and liberality than these enterprising and opulent
merchants. Edgar J. has, at his own expense, erected the
Church of the Holy Trinity, an edifice far surpassing in archi-
tectural grandeur and costliness of material and workmanship,
an}' similar structure in this city. It may appropriately be
termed the Cathedral of Brooklyn, and will serve to per-
petuate the name and munificence of its founder in ages yet to
come. He is, we believe, in politics, a Democrat, and was
selected by that party as its chosen candidate for Mayor ; but
he declined the honours offered him, notwithstanding that he
would, beyond all reasonable doubt, have been elected. His
heart and abundant means are ever open to the appeals of
charity, and no one in this community has done more than he
towards relieving the necessities of the poor."
Among the numerous extracts from the newspapers
at the time Mr. Bartow was the leading man in
102 BARTOW GENEALOGY.
Brooklyn, the following is from the Brooklyn Daily
Eagle :
E. J. Bartow. — This highly respected gentleman is an
extensive manufacturer of and dealer in paper, and a man of
large wealth and influence. He resides, however, in compara-
tively plain 8t3'le, at the coi'ner of Concord and Washington
streets, in an unpretentious house, surrounded by pleasant
grounds, making a semi-rural spot in the very heart of the
city. Mr. Bartow is best known as the builder and proprietor
of the Church of the Holy Trinity. * * * The Democratic
caucusses of Brooklyn have several times made efforts to
induce Mr. Bartow to accept their nomination for the Mayor-
alty, but without success. Mr. B, evidently has no wish or
ambition for the cares and perplexities of political station ;
nor to engage in its vexatious and exciting field of dispute.
In this he, it must be confessed, does not evince any lack of
judgment.
Of Mr. Bartow's obituary notices, from the New York
and Brooklyn papers, the following is one from the
Journal of Commerce , of Sept. 1864 :
Obituary. — We regret to record the death of Edgar J.
Bartow, of Brooklyn, one of the oldest, most respected and
benevolent citizens. He died on the 6th inst., at Morristown,
N. J. He will be remembered by many as a former Demo-
cratic candidate for Mayor of Brooklyn, and as one of the
largest paper-dealers in the city. Bartow was especially
known to the public as having erected the Church of the Holy
Trinity, in Brookl3'n, from his private means. Subsequent
misfortunes in business compelled him to forego his intention
of endowing and presenting it to the congregation. He was
a man of great energy and business ability, a devoted Church-
man, a kind and faithful parent, and a good citizen.
BARTOW GENEALOGY. 103
In Dr. Drowne's Commemorative Discourse at the
Completion of the Spire of Holy Trinity, are the follow-
ing extracts relating to Mr. Bartow :
A short time afterward, one who had borne a prominent
part in that movement, and from his intelligent interest in
Brooklyn affairs, was already regarded as a public benefactor,
Edgar J. Bartow, secured the site upon which we now are,
and advertised that a chapel would ere long be ready here for
occupancy, and l)ivine services commenced. With a wise
foresight and a munificent liberality, he determined upon
erecting a commodious and beautiful pile of buildings, which
might anticipate the wants of a growing population for years
to come, and be a credit and a blessing to the community in
which they should stand. It was with no feelings of ostenta-
tion or craving for notoriety, but with entirel}' unselfish
motives, and from an humble desire to do all he could in his
Master's service, that he determined upon undertaking the
work unaided and alone. For a time every plan succeeded ;
but afterward, when business misfortunes and financial em-
barrassments overtook him, the burden was found greater
than he could bear. Yet it was in his heart to have made this
a free gift to j^ou and your posterity ; for years he laboui'ed
most earnestly, though in vain, to effect it, and to the last
never regretted having made the attempt.
Harriette Constable Pierrepont, the wife of Edgar J.
Bartow, was the sixth daughter of H. B. Pierrepont, of
Pierrepont Hall, Brooklyn, where she was born, July
17, 1818, and baptized by Dr. J. M. Wainwright, Jan.
14, 1819. She was confirmed in S. Ann's Church,
104 BARTOW GENEALOGY.
Brooklyn, Nov. 10, 1833, by Bishop Onderdonk, and
admitted to the Holy Communion, Feb. 16, 1834.
She was married to Mr. Bartow in S. Ann's Church,
by Rev. Dr. Cutler, Nov. 13, 1838.
After a lingering illness she departed this life, July
6, 1855, at 6 P. M., and was interred in Greenwood.
After a short service at the house (No. 32 Pierrepont
Street), a procession was formed, and walked through
Pierrepont Street to the Church of the Holy Trinity,
where Hymn, 201, was sung by the Choir, and the
prayers of the Church oflered for her " perfect consum-
mation and bliss, both in body and soul, in God's
eternal and everlasting glory."

Galatians i. 24 : "Aud they glorified God in me."
Diii'ing the last week we have borne to the grave the re-
mains of another member of this Church, Mrs. Harriet C.
Bartow. Known as she was to many of our congregation,
personall}', and to many more by name, as one associated with
all that concerns us as worshippers in the Church of the H0I3'
Trinitj', it may be proper and interesting, and I trust profit-
able also, to advert in my discourse this morning, to the deal-
ings of God with her in life and in death. To merely eulogize
the deceased would be a mistaken kindness, which she, of all
others, would most have deprecated.
They glorified, says the Apostle, not me, but God in me.
And such is the mixture of imperfection and sin we see in
others, and pei'ceive in ourselves, that no Christian would ever
desire to be named, save in such a way that God may be
glorified in him. . . .
Having enjoyed peculiar advantages for observing some of
the processes to which I have referred, in the case of our de-
parted sister, during nearly fifteen years in which she had
been an attendant on my ministiy, I propose now briefly to
advert to them.
I. And, first, God was glorified in her, by her early obe-
dience to the calls of His grace. Our deceased sister early
gave herself to God. At the age of about twelve she knelt
in Confirmation, and soon after came to the Lord's Table.
Among her last conversations with me, she spoke of her Con-
firmation and first Communion, and bore witness in affectionate
language to the faithfulness of the present Hector of »S. Ann's,
then her Minister, all in terms that would have lifted his heart
in gladness. But besides pastoral fidelit}', leading to this
early decision for Christ, there were the influences of a
Christian Home, of which 1 may not and need not speak.
II. And again, God was glorified in the deceased, in the
means by which her piety was fed and nourished. She loved
106 BARTOW GENEALOGY.
the services of the Church ; and though for a long time pre-
vented bj' sickness from attending upon them, it Avas her cus-
tom, whenever able, to follow in her sick-room with us who
were in the Sanctuary, in the various parts of the Liturgy,
sometimes responsively with her little boy-minister, her
youngest, sometimes alone. The Communion too was often
received during her illness.
III. God again was glorified in the deceased, in her chari-
ties and labours of love. She was long afflicted with infirmi-
ties, which prevented her from taking any active part in works
of charity. And this often drew from her expressions of
regret. " I suppose," said she, " some poor persons are foolish
enough to env}^ me Avhen they see me riding past in my car-
riage; but how gladly would 1, a helpless invalid, unable to
walk a single block, enjo}^ their privilege of using their own
limbs, to go whither they pleased." And especially did she'
desire their privilege that she might visit among the poor and
afflicted. When others spoke of labours of this kind, she
would exclaim : •' Oh ! how highly you are favoured, that j'ou
are engaged in such duties, while I am a poor, useless crea-
ture, shut up in my sick-room, a burden to myself and
others." Yet she was not wholly useless there. Her husband
had her s\-mpathy and support in all his labours of benevo-
lence, and in his trials. Her children, little able as she was to
care for them, will pi'obably feel her good influence in their
spiritual concerns, down to the close of life,' and bless it, we
trust, throughout eternity. In her earlier years she was a
teacher in the Sunday School. Supplies of necessaries and
comforts were sent bj- her direction to the destitute, whom
she could not visit. Families of the widowed and orphan i-e-
ceived by her almoner the paj-ment of their rent, and other
assistance. In the days of comparatively better health, when
she could extend her rides to a distance, her custom was to
keep by her side supplies of books, such as would interest
BARTOW GENEALOGY. 107
children, and to distribute them whenever a group was met
on the road. These are mentioned as indications that she had
that eager desire to do good, which is the marlc of a Christian;
that she was not selfishly wrapped up in her own enjoyment,
or in her own sufferings ; and that she would have been de-
lighted, had health permitted, to have engaged personally in
the active charities of the Gospel.
lY. And this leads me to notice further, that God was
glorified in the afiiictions of the deceased. With a fragile
form at first, she became more and more enfeebled, so that for
the last fifteen years she has scarcely known a day of health,
and for some time past the conflict has been nai'rowed down
to her room and to her sick bed, until death has done all he
can do. We may judge how acute and severe the trial has
been, when often for a week together she has lain in a dark-
ened room, unable to read or to hear a word above a whisper,
with pain darting through all her nerves, as she expressed it,
as if burning needles were thrust into them, unable to bear
the visit of sympathy, and almost unable to form the thoughts
in prayer for help from above. We may judge how severe the
process has been, when, with everything to relieve, it has
broken her down step by step, literally worn out with suffer-
ing, to the grave.
Y. God was glorified in the deceased, in the circumstances
of her death. Many an afflicted one has died long before
death came. It was so with the deceased. The love of life
was all gone, the fear of death all removed. A child long
absent from loved parents, that counts the days and hours to
vacation, could never be more eager to go home than she.
" To go home! " was her repeated exclamation. " I hope it is
not because I am wearj^ of my afflictions, but I wish to be
with my Saviour. Physicians tell me on some days that i am
better, but it gives me no pleasure. I count the days, and say
to myself, I am now one day nearer home — one day nearer
108 BARTOW GENEALOGY.
heaven." It seems almost a mj-steiy that one so sensitive
and fragile could be so firm, in view of that which often appals
the stoutest believer — the circumstances of a d^ying hour. "I
hope there will be no scene around my deathbed," said she,
" no crowding about of weeping friends — do not speak to me
then, I Avant to be alone with my Saviour, and to have my
friends only pra}' for me by themselves, that I may have a
peaceful release and be at rest with God." And so she
departed. . . . And I may be permitted to add that, during
those many years, with many grateful recollections of special
kindnesses, I have ever found in her the kind, sympathizing,
sustaining friend of her Pastor. She has gone, we trust, where
pain and depression and wearisome days of sorrow are un-
known, where the frequent visit of her minister to cojiifort
and encourage shall no more be needed, and where the Lord
God Himself shall wipe all tears from all eyes, and the weary
find eternal rest. God be praised for the hope of one more of
the flock safe in the fold.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord,
And let perpetual light shine uj)on her.
Amen.

I quote from the address of Dr. Drowne on the occa-
sion of unveiling this tablet :
It is a happy circumstance that this commemoration service
should have united with it, as its especial incident and crown-
ing grace, the unveiling of the mural tablet to the memory of
Edgar J. Bartow and his wife, Harriet Constable, daughter of
Mr. Hezekiah B, Pierrepont. Eminently fitting is it that he

who projected this edifice, and devoted so much of time,
money, and thought during the best part of his life to its in-
terests, now that he is no more, should be so appropriately
remembered in this hour devoted to praise and thanksgiving
over the completed enterprise. . . .
Born on the 29th of April, 1809,^ etc.
I may not dwell upon the unsparing labours and intense
enthusiasm of Mr. Bartow for this edifice, during its construc-
tion ; his discriminating taste and well-informed judgment, to
which many of its best features are due ; and to the enlarged
liberalit}^ with which for many years ho contributed toward
the cui-rent expenses and the many charities of the congrega-
tion. He lived for this church, attended with religious fidelity
every service held within its walls, and watched constantly
over all its interests. This was the real mainspring of his
business activity, the master-passion which so long controlled
him. He undertook this enterprise alone, built its cluster of
edifices alone ; he wished to finish it alone and leave it to the
congregation a free gift, the one great work of his life.
Whether right or wrong, this was a purpose which he cherished
with such ardour, such sanguine hope, even amid misfortunes,
that it overshadowed and displaced all other considerations.
It led to his being often misunderstood, and sometimes
harshly judged, by those who knew not his true motives, or
sympathized not with them. . . .
Mr. Bartow died on the 6th of September, 1864, widely
esteemed for his public spirit, and comprehensive views ; for
his ready aid and sympathy for the unfortunate ; for his warm
attachments and genial hospitality ; and for his Christian
zeal, humility, and self-denial.

BARTOW GENEALOGY. Ill
is fitting that we say a passing word. Few with an organiza-
tion so frail, and health so im}Daired,were more frequent in these
holy courts, and took a more active interest in the Church's
progress. Her quiet serenity and uncomplaining patience in
the midst of intense physical suffering, from which she was
rarely free, revealed the abiding reality of her trust in God,
and her complete resignation to the allotments of His
hand. . . .
Her library of well-chosen works of devotion was her daily
refrcshm.ent. Though brought up in affluence, and excused
from active duties by her infirmities, her interest in the poor
was ever unabated, and mnuy were the destitute families to
whom it was my privilege, as her almoner, to bear the cost
for shelter or support. Not unfrequentl}', too, would she visit
the sick and afflicted with some needed comfort, or word of
counsel or sympalh}", when herself scarcely able to undergo
the exertion ; and yet she accounted it all as far less than her
duty, often blamed herself for doing so little. On the 6th
of July, 1855, just as the sun was setting, her gentle spirit
departed, with the peaceful and assured hope of a blessed res-
urrection morning. And when at her funeral I saw many
here whom she had befriended, sobbing over the loss of their
true benefactress, that old epitaph to a noble Christian woman
involuntarily came to mind : " She healed the hearts of the
sorrowful when living, and broke them when she died."
Such were the humble and unostentatious lives and simple
Christian virtues of tliose whose names, on this day, you connect
anew with this House of God, on yonder tablet for all coming
time. If to spirits departed it is permitted to look down upon
the actions of the living, and feel an interest in their work for
God and His Church, no earthly event could send a thrill of
higher rapture through the hearts of those who fouitded this
church, than the present accomplishment of what they began,
by 3'our judicious counsels, noble gifts, and continual sacri-
fices during these many years.

himself to the Methodist ministry, he began preaching while
a mere youth, and in 1825 had fulfilled two years of cir-
cuit work in the Schuylkill District, from the Delaware
to the Susquehanna, varied with short visits to Wilming-
ton, Newcastle, Newport, Smyrna, and Dover, in Delaware ;
also to the counties of Kent, Queen Anne's, and Talbot,
and their towns on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and New
Jersey, from Sussex Hills to Cape May sands. This work of
a boy-evangelist was a test to one still in his teens, of ability
to "endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ."
His first appointment, after this itinerancy, was to the beau-
tiful town of Elisabeth, N. J., and two years afterwards, in
1827, to Eahwa}', N. J. In 1829, he was transferred to Balti-
more, his native place. In 1840, Dr. Sargent was elected co-

Elder of Northumberland District, Pa. ; and from 1859 to 1862
Presiding Elder of the Baltimore District, Md.
In 1866, joining the M. E. Church South, at New Orleans,
Dr. Sargent was stationed at Richmond, Portsmouth, and Mar-
tinsburg, in Va., till 1872, since which time he has been on the
retired list, technically, " superannuated "; but has travelled
extensively, doing what ministerial work he could (after 50
years' regular service) on the whole Pacific coast, and visiting
every Southern State except Florida, also New England and
Canada ; now, in his 74th year, is waiting till his " change

Ryder, who resided with Basil Bartow at Westchester. Their parentage
I do uot know. Two of the children of Mrs. John Bartow (Augustus and
Stephen) have names which occur for the first time in the Bartow family,
and I have thought that they may be derived from their mother's femily.
Accordingly we find a Stephen Rider, of the Presbyterian church at
Jamaica, in 1713, and another Stephen Rider living at Jamaica in 1775.
Thomas Rider sailed from Loudon in the " Mary and John," April 16,
1634, and settled on Long Island. His sou, Tho mas Rider, of Southold,
L. I., in 1659, d. in 1679. He had three sons : 1. Thomas, of Southold,

College, Dublin, and by inheritance became possessed of a valuable
estate near Dublin. During the Revolution he was aide to Lafa-

When the General visited this country in 1824, liearing that the
widow of his deceased friend was living in Brooklyn, at her

Mr. Constable carried on a trade with India and China. In 1788,
the ship America, of 600 tons, which was the finest sliip that had
been built at New York, was built by Mr. Constable for that trade.
May 12, 1786, he had purchased the confiscated estate of Philipse
Manor, at Yonkers, of 320 acres, where he resided during the

Dock street, afterwards in Wall, corner of William, in a very-
handsome house which he bought and furnished and presented to
his mother, Jan. 1, 1795, his 44th birthday, as he said,' the happiest
day of his life.' This house was built of yellow bricks brought
from Holland, and the mortar was made with buttermilk. The
parlors were tapestried, had stucco ceilings, and Italian marble
chimney-pieces — up a broad flight of walnut stairs was the
drawing-room. Wall street was then the fashionable quarter of
New York. He sold this house for $27,000, for a banking-house."
In 1791, he associated with Alexander Macomb and Daniel McCor-
mick in the purchase from the State of New York, of the great tract
of four million acres, and comprising the whole of the present
counties of Lewis, Jefferson, St. Lawrence and Franklin, with
parts of Oswego and Herkimer, being one-tenth of the State. In
1793, Mr. Constable was joined by his family in England, where
they visited many relatives, among them Lord Constable, a cousin.
While in London, they met the widow of William Constable, who
had d. in Bombay, in 1791. He was the son of Hon. Cuthbert Con-
stable, of Constable Hall, Burton Constable, co. Cornwall, a cousin
of Mr. Constable's. Mr. Constable d. in New York, May 22, 1803,
and was buried in S. Paul's churchyard. By Ann White, his wife,

The following are some of Mrs. A. M. Pierrepout's recollections,
dictated to one of her nieces :
" I was nearly ten years old when we sailed in the Eweretta,
Capt. Hervey, my father's ship. We took with us Mr. Louis Mask
and his sweet pretty wife; two nephews of Mrs. Dr. Romeyn,
Dick and Nat Grant, who were fine playfellows for me, and a Miss
Martin. We landed at Deal after the very short voyage of 21 days.
My father met us. We stayed one night at Deal, and then went to
London in a postchaise, stopping at every place of note by the way.
I remember Canterbury Bells, and the windows of Coventry where
Peeping Tom looked out. We drove to Uncle Phyn's in Surrey St.,
Strand, on the Thames — a noble house, where I first saw a stone
hall and stone stairs. Aunt Phyn had two daughters, Jane and
Catharine, and her two sons, John and George, did everything in
their power to make us happy. My aunt said to flither, ' You

milk pitcher of Ms belongs to Mrs. F. S. Wiley.

call that child Nancy — that is not her name — I shall call her
Anna,' which it was ever after. "We stayed at Uncle Phyn's until
my fother hired a ready-furnished house in Gower St., Bedger
Square. We had a handsome chariot, and our coloured footman
was the son of my grandmother's maid, Cornelia. Behind our
house there were no buildings; the fields were fenced. Several
times in the week a company of archers, ladies and gentlemen,
met and fired at targets, a band playing, and all dressed in green.
Uncle Renaudet came all the way from Hotwells, Bristol, to see
mother. He had so great an antipathy to a cat, that he would
almost faint if one came near him. I once went with him to
Temple Franklin's (grandson of the great Franklin), where we met
a cat on the stairs. He sank right down, not recovering until
restoratives were administered. I had a music-teacher, and studied
French. My mother taught me the use of the needle, and to keep
my room and drawers in order. We were very intimate with Mr.
Johnson, our American Consul; his eldest daughter married John
Quincy Adams. John Barker Church lived in elegant style ; his
wife was a daughter of General Schuyler, and as Betsy Church
was my age, we were much together. Another friend of mother's
was Mrs. Benedict Arnold ; she was a Miss Shippeu, of Philadel-
phia. My flither allowed mother to visit her, but would never
notice Mm. One day Arnold met father in the street. ' Mr. Con-
stable, do you not know me?' 'No, sir; I can never know a
traitor.' So Arnold walked on. Aunt Pierce persuaded father to
purchase a country-seat near her, called Wick. There I attended
a French school two miles from us, as day-boarder, going in the
carriage. I made very pleasant acquaintances with girls of elegant
manners, and corresponded with several of them. Aunt Pierce
lived in a beautiful cottage with fine grounds. She was a fine
woman, but not equal to Aunt Phyn, who at forty did not look to
be thirty years old. Her son was often mistaken for her husband.
" Our residence was a large double house, with two stories and an
attic. It was between Bath and Bristol. We had a billiard room,
and I soon learned to play with our young neighbors.
" Many happy days we spent there until my father's business
made it necessary for him to return to America. Sister Emily was
born at Wick, and as soon as mother recovered, we went to Uncle
Renaudet's. Wick was sold, and the furniture packed to embark
in October.
" Uncle R. made me a great pet ; his house was a great resort of

literary persons, and we had letters constantly, introducing
strangers. Miss Hannah More was a constant visitor ; she told
mother that ' the Shepherd of Salisbury Plain ' was Rev. Sir
James Stonehouse, who baptized Emily at Clifton. Dear Uncle R.,
who was nearly eighty, grieved to part with us, his only relatives
there. At his death, all his massive and valuable silver was sent
to us in the ship ' Jupiter,' which was sunk by an iceberg. My
father sent out a vessel for us, and Mr. John White, my uncle, to be
an escort. We had a coachman and groom and five other servants
on board, also five valuable horses. We had a very stormy pass-
age of 49 days, dead lights in nearly all the time. I never had a
sick day. Emily and Harriet and their nurses were also well. It
was a joyful sound when laud was announced. The pilot brought
sad accounts of the ravages of the yellow fever, but all near and
dear to us were spared. Father was having a dinner party when
we arrived. My uoble grandmother, dear sister Eweretta, brothers
William and John and Uncle James surrounded us, and tears of
joy were in our eyes. Eweretta and I talked almost all night."

BARTO FAMILY.
204 BARTOW GENEALOGY.
THE BARTO FAMILY.
Till of late years, all of the name of Bartow in this country were sup-
posed to descend from the Rev. John Bartow. Recently, however,
investigation shews that a few members of the Barlo family have
added a w to their name, bat trace their ancestry to a time anterior to
the 18th century, and too fur back to be descendants of Rev. John Bartow.
By tradition they claim descent from two brothers, John and Francis,
who were born, say about 1670, and came direct from France to Long
Island. The following informaliou is derived chiefly from the Hon.
Henry D. Barto, of Trumansburgh, N. Y., who called on .me in New
York City, Feb. 13, 1867, to obtain information by which lie might con-
nect our two families ; also from Obadiah Barto, of Hempstead, L. I., and
Benjamin P. Bartow, of Brooklyn.
Francis Barteau, (with his brother John, of whom presently) came from
Paris, France, and settled at Huntington, L. I. The name was spelled
on an old will, Barteaux. Francis Barteau m. for a second wife a lady
who came over as companion to the wife of the Governor of Pennsylvania,
who m. James Morris, of London. Slie was b. in 1675, and d. in 1779.
Francis Barteau, the son of this Francis, by his first wife, removed from
Huntington, to Fire Place, L. L, in 1741, and the place remained in their
family till 1871, when they sold and removed West. Francis m. Marga-
ret Morris, da. of his stepmother, and had nine children : 1. Morris
Barteau of Fire Place, kd. in the French war. 3. Temperance, m. * * *
Rose, and had a sou, Nathan Rose, who took the surname of Barteau,
and was father of the Hon. David Barteau, his 2ud son, b. 1773, Judge of

I was rather intimately acquainted with the late Mr. E. J. Bartow for
many years. He was gentle and refined in his deportment. In business
I always found him just, and governed by principle. He was philan-
thropic, ready to aid in all wise enterprises aiming at the welfare of man
and the service of God.

Bedford, March 16th, 1868.
My Dear Sir :
... I enclose a copy of the Basil Barlow branch, which I copied
from a Bible in the possession of Basil John Bartow's wifo, whose maiden
name was Elisabetii A. Honejavell. She exhibited some papers, attached
to vvhicli I found a seal. I send you a rubbing of the same. It was a
number of years ago, so that it has become dim witli age, but I distinctly
remember the three bezants. ....
Yours in haste,

Extracts from a letter of Mr. Wm. S. Crothers to myself,
May, 1878 :
Miss Benezet was not a Moravian when Mr. B. married her, not for
more than seventeen years after. The Beuezets were Episcopalians, and
went to Christ Church, in 2ud Street, below Arch. I have a Prayer Book
of 1716 ,which belonged to tiieir Pew. Wlien the Revolutionary War
broke out, Mr. Bartow moved his ftiniily to Bethlehem, thinking they
would see less of the suffering and inconvenience of the war ; the only
church here was the Moravian, which of eoursc they all attended and
became very much attached to it. After their return to Philadelphia, 1784,
she attended Christ Church, and sometimes the Moravian, and finally
joined the latter, which Bishop White considered not only a sister Church,
but an elder sister.
Thomas Bartow, grandson of Rev. John B., had all the neatness of his
BARTOW GENEALOGY. 221
father; he was unwilling for his waiter to black his boots, because his
hands soiled the inside. The waiter fixed everything on a bench for him
to black them himself. He once paid a fine for being unwilling to serve
as Mayor of the City; my grandmother had the receipt for the payment.
He was always ready to lielp distress ; his wife spoke of him as one in
one thousand.

Thomas' Bartow lived at the "Mills," Eastchester, with liis
uncle John, till the death of his father, Anthony Bartow. Jii
1791, he went and took care of his mother till she died.
Mrs. Hannah B. Kissam was born at Eastchester, April 9,
1788; baptized by the Rev. Benjamin Moore, afterwards
Bishop, by whom she was confirmed, and becanfc a communi-
cant in 1800. She was married by Bishop Moore, and attended
S. George's Church, N. Y. In 1818, she removed to Jerse}-
City ; in 1826, returned to N. Y., and, in 1846, again went to

Of Andrew A. Bartow, his daughter, Miss Elisabeth Ann
Bartow, of J!^e\vburgh, N. Y., in a letter to me dated Oct.
1878, thus speaks :
My Fatlier was an impulsive man. He loved much, and so could hope
to be forgiven much. He was a good citizen, a kind neighbor, a most
devoted husband. I never knew a man who loved his wife better, and
my Mother was well worthy of his love. He was blind over twenty-five
years, and in all that time he was patient and cheerful, never murmuring
against his lot. ' He loved his Saviour, and He gave him grace to bear
his trials.

Dr. Theodosius Bartow, of Savannah, was born at New
Eochelle, in 1774, practiced medicine in Savannah nearly sixt3'
years,' where he died Dec. 26, 1857, aged 83. These dates
were obtained for me from his gravestone by the late Dr.
Thomas Bartow Sargent. Dr. Bartow was an ardent church-
man and a member of the Standing Committee of the Diocese
of Cieorgia. My father knew his son, Frank, as he called him.
I saw him once.

The following letter was written to me by the present Rector
of Trinity Cbureb :
Trinity Church, Baltimork, Sept. 2, 1879.
Eev. (Did Dear Brother. -—In answer to your request for some particu-
lars in the life of Rev. J. V. Bartow, D. D., I beg leave to say tliat when a
boy I often met and knew him, his residence being near that of my
Father's in South High Street. I also attended occasionally his church
(Trinity), where my uncle had a pew.
I recollect his impressive mode of reading the Service, and a custom of
his appearance in black gloves, invariably worn in both desk and pulpit.
At one time his church was attended by the elite of the eastern section
of Baltimore, but on the breaking out of the yellow fever in 1819 many of
his congregation moved " up town." Besides this, the activity of tlie
Methodists drew away numbers of his people. These combined causes
so thinned tlie congregation that it ceased to be self-supporting, and
finally, just before tlie consecration of the Rt. Rev. Bishop Wliittinghani,
the large church building was sold to the German Lutherans, who still
occupy it. They have, however, left the pulpit, reading desk, pews and
organ intact, and on one occasion I was invited to address the congrega-
tion, which I did, the German minister translating my discourse into
German. I referred to the numbers of church people who had wor-
shipped there previous to its occupancy by the Lutherans, and that I felt
a special interest in "Old Trinity" from tlie fact that I was baptized
there by Rev. Dr. Bartow.
It was my duty in 1843 to begin tlie reconstruction of tlie scattered
congregation, and there is now another "Trinity" with several other
churches in this section of the city. Dr. Bartow found it necessary to
inaugurate a School at his house, which he carried on for several years.
I recollect seeing him at his doorsteps at the clo.se of the day, some-
times smoking or in conversation ; and I sometimes met him at the wharf,
where he often went to fish with his line and rod, a visit of some weeks
to the lakes and seashore not being the custom then as now. The Con-
vention reports were not then so detailed, but judging from the reported
marriages and baptisms, I infer that lie must have been an assiduous
224 BARTOW GENEALOGY.
PastoE. Dr. Bartow occupied important ecclesiastical positions in this
Diocese, being frequently elected a member of the Standing Committee.
He subsequently removed to New Jersey, where at Perth-Amboy I
visited a beautiful monument over his grave, erected by his son Theo-
dosius. His daughter, Mrs. Montell,^ was always actively engaged in
Baltimore in all good works for Christ and His Church.
I am, with much regard,
Yours in the Church,
George A. Leakin.

Capt. Aquila Bartow established the ferry at St. Loui.s for
Samuel Wi^ijjins. He afterwards joined a fur company, and

Santa Fe and the City of Mexico. Keturning to the United
States, lie engaged in the navigation of the. southwestern
rivers, and was at the time of his death Captain of the
steamer "Lexington," of which he was part owner. He died
at the house of Judge Mills, at Frankfort, Kentucky, of
scarlet fever, contracted while nursing a friend, and is buried

In letters to myself from the Ven. Sir George Prevost,
Eart., Vicar of Stinchcombe, co. Gloucester, and also from
Prof. E. W. Prevost, his cousin, of the Agricultural College,
Cirencester, I learned the following:
Major Gen. Augustine Prevost' was born in 1723, in Geneva,
and died in England, in 1786. By Nanette Grand he had three
sons, who lived, and two who died young. His son, Lieut.
Gen. Sir George Prevost, b, 1767j w^as ci-eated a Baronet in
1805, the father of the present Baronet. Mr. E. W. Prevost,
in his letter, written while staying with his cousins. Sir George
and his sister Anne (75 years and 85 years old), says that Major
Augustin Prevost, of (Jatskili, was well remembered by the
family in England, and that Sir George and Anne Prevost, when
with the Governor in Canada, met their American cousins.
Major Augustin Prevost, according to Edward W. Prevost,
was a half-brother of Lieut. Gen. Sir Geo. Prevost. Major
Gen. Augustine had several sisters, one of whom was mother
of Mrs. Achard, of London. If Frederick, the stepson of Burr,

The Pell Family, of Dymblesby, Lincolnshire, from the
Visitations of Lincolnshire, never in print, was furnished me
by Eev. Eobert Bolton, who obtained them, (through some of
the Pells), from London. Mr. Bolton at the same time in-
formed me that he thought that the Pells of Pelham were of
this family, and that he had only assumed John Pell, Vicar of
Southwyck, to be a son of Hon. John Pell, of Dersingham,
Noi'folk. The records of Dersingham, examined for me by
the Vicar, throw no light on the subject. The following
pedigree' recently obtained from Mr. O. C. Pell, of Wilburton
Manor, Ely, (brother of Rev. Beauchamp Pell, of lekenham,
CO. Middlesex, and of A. Pell, M. P. for S. Leicestershire)
proves Bolton's assumption to be wrong, and derives Dr. John
Pell, of London, from the "ancient family in Lincolnshire,"
according to Chalmers' Biog. Dictionary.

stable, married a remarkably beautiful woman, and went to live in Bom-
bay, India. She stayed with us in London, and gave her miniature to
my mother, which I have." A. M. P.
I have never been able to identify my grandmother's family with any
across the water. There was an Hon. Cuthbert Constable, of Burton
Constable, co. York, who assumed the name of Constable, on inheriting
the estates of his Uncle, William Constable, 4th Viscount Dunbar. He
died, however, in 1747, not in 1791, and the arms of tlie family are differ-
ent from ours.
Memoranda and recollections in relation to the full-length
picture of General Washington, painted by Gilbert Stuart in
1796 for my father, William Constable.— (Mrs. A. M. Pierre-
pont's Memorandum dated 1849) :
My mother, who was a daughter of Townsend White, a Merchant of
Philadelphia, was an intimate friend of Miss Dandridge, before she
became Mrs. Custis, and when the young widow married General Wash-
ington, the friendly intercourse was kept up between them. My father
■was in the Army, and belonged to the staff of General Lafayette, and was
always on intimate terms with General Washington, whom he was
thought to resemble, his height and bearing being the same, and his hair
being dressed in the same manner.
I remember, when a very little girl, seeing Washington at our house in
New York, during the sitting of Congress there. I was early taught to
love and venerate him. Governeur Morris, and Robert Morris the great
financier of our revolutionary struggle, were partner's in my father's
extensive mercantile firm, and each had, in our house in Great Dock
Street (now Pearl St.), their sleeping apartments, appropriated to them
when they came to New Y^'ork.
General Hamilton was a valued friend of my father and his legal
council ; and Aaron Burr, who was then in high standing, was also
intimate. I well remember all four dining at my father's country seat, in
Bloomingdale, in 1796, and parts of the brilliant conversation I can still
recollect, and can recall the animated countenance and polished manners
of my gifted father.
After our return from England in 1795, my father went to Phila-
delphia, and at the request of liis mother, engaged Stuart to take his
likeness for his family. Gilbert Stuart was at the time of my fsvther's
visit (1796) painting a full-length portrait of Washington for Mr.
Bingham, who presented it to the Marquis of Landsdown. My father
274 BARTOW GENEALOGY.
was so much pleased with it, that he engaged Stuart to paint one for him,
at the same time, as the General was giving him sittings. Stuart, who
was well acquainted with my father, promised both pictures should be
worked upon alternately, so that both should be originals. Mr. Trott,
the artist who painted a miniature of my father, (which I have) told me
that Stuart had only sketched the hand of the General, and that he held
Ms own hand for him to paint from. Mr. Daniel McCormick, who lived
in Wall Street and died there in 1834, aged 94, was a friend of Stuart's,
and being under obligations to my father, used his influence to induce
Stuart to bestow very particular care and attention upon the picture,
which was considered more highly finished, in its details, than was usual
for Stuart. My father went twice from New York to Philadelphia in his
chariot and four, taking McCormick with him, to watch the progress of
the painting ; and to encourage the procrastinating artist, they had him
invited to many dinner parties among friends, and, by great perseverance,
obtained their wishes. Before the picture was sent to New York, Stuart
painted a half length from it, which my father presented to his friend.
General Hamilton.
A large party of friends assembled at our house in Broadway, (which
stood where the Astor House now stands,) our neighbours being Col.
Burr, Walter Rutherfurd, (grandfather of Mrs. Peter A. Jay,) and Richard
Harisou,the eminent Lawyer and Partner of General Hamilton, to see
the picture. " Gentlemen," said my father, "there is Ihe man," and they
responded, " the man himself." Daniel McCormick said he had seen
Stuart purchase the Turkey carpet, on which the General stood, and it
was a facsimile. . . .
While my father was in Europe, the Broadway house was rented to
Edward Livingston and the sister of Mr. L , (Mrs. Montgomery, the
widow of General Montgomery, who resided with him,) requested my
mother to leave the picture to ornament the room, till it was convenient
to have it removed.
After the death of my father, in 1803, the Broadway house was sold to
John Jacob Astor. My brother William, who then resided at Schenec-
tady, and was only seventeen years old, asked me to let the picture be
placed in the drawing-room of our house on Brooklyn Heights.
Y''ears after, (1812) when my brother wanted money, he told me he
was going to sell the picture, and was negotiating with the Washington
Society in New York. He did not value it and estimate it, as I did, and
I persuaded my husband to offer the price he asked for it ($600).
Stuart had been paid $500 for it and the frame cost $100. My brother
transferred it to me, to my great relief. As the frame was shabby a new
BARTOW GENEALOGY. 275
one was bought, aud so arranged that in case of fire the canvas could
easily be slipped out of the case and saved. . . .
When General Lafayette visited America in 1824, he visited Brooklyn
to call on my mother, then staying at my house. He was accompanied
by his and our old friend, Colonel Nicholas Fish. General Lafayette re-
garded the picture with great seriousness a long time, and then said with
much feeling, " Yes, that is my noble friend indeed." Colonel Fish, who
had been aid to General Washington, gave us anecdotes of the war, when
our house was Washington's headquarters after the battle of Long
Island, and pointed out the room in wliich orders were given by Gen'l
Washington to cross the ferry, and retreat to New York.
General Lafayette paid very great and marked attention to my mother,
and spoke of my father, " as a dear friend and companion in arms." The
visit was one of exceeding interest aud great excitement to me. I had
only that morning returned from a visit to my sou William, at Pierre-
pont Manor, with my son Henry Evelyn. We had endured much fotigue
from the heat, &c., but all was forgotten, when we were greeted by the
cheerful voices of our dear children, with the news: "General Lafayette
will be here in a few moments."
In 1837, a French artist and engraver, named Lozier, brought an
introduction from Paris to my husband, and requested permission to
copy the head of Washington from our picture. Permission was given
him. He afterwards went to Boston to see Stuart's original head in the
Athenaeum. He told us ours was infinitely the best and he would
engrave it, and give it the credit in his engraving. He engraved it, but
gave the credit to the picture at Boston, because the Boston picture
being best known would give more repute to his copy. My husband died
in 1838. In 1841, I permitted an artist by the name of Prime, at the
request of the Mayor of Hudson, to copy a half length of our picture for
the common council room of that city.
In 1845, Mr. Frothingham, who had been a pupil of Stuart's, requested
to be permitted to lake a copy, to which I consented. For three months
he painted in a room in my house, where I had the picture placed for his
convenience. His copy I thought a pretty good one, though he made
several alterations, among others of the Turkey carpet, which struok me
forcibly, as he made his of brilliant colours, while I had heard Mr. McCor-
mick say " Stuart has made an exact copy of the original real turkey."
Mr. Frothingham afterwards made a copy of his copy, in which he
made further alterations. This copy was bought by the corporation of
the city of Brooklyn. Mr. Frothingham's copy of my portrait was pur-
chased by Mr. A. A. Low, of Brooklyn, and presented to Salem, the city
of his nativity.

BARTO.
THE BARTO FAMILY.
Francois Bertean/ a Frenchman, was at Harlem, N. Y., in
1676, as a petitioner with others for land, which being denied,
he went to Flushing,. L. I., and there in 1680 made a similar
application, stating that he had 9 children. In 1698, he is
named on the census of Flushing (where the name is spelled
as pronounced) as Francis Burto, wife Mary, and three chil-
dren, Francis, John and Abigail ; these children probably
being of age, and. born, any between 1660 and 1675. These
two children, Francis and John, I should think, were the two
brothers mentioned in the "Bartow Genealogy" as coming

The Breckinridges state that Bolton is mistaken as to the

Sir George Prevost, Bart. If this latter be so, he must have
been a half brother, and brother of Major Augustin Prevost,

THE BARTOW FAiMILY IN ENGLAND.
BY THE
Rev. Evelyn P. Bartow, A. M.
1886.
THE BARTOW FAMILY IN ENGLAND.
X. * * * * * BERTAUT, Ecnyer, fled from Bretagne,
France, and settled in England, after the Massacre of S.
BartholomeAv's Day, A. D. 1572. This is only a matter of tra-
■ dition. The father of Peter Bartow had the following children:
I. Peter Bartow, of whom presently.
II. William Bartow, mentioned in his brother Peter's will.
III. John Bartow, left a daughter Anne Bartow; both mentioned in
Peter Bartow's will.
IV. A daughter married John Barber, of Houiton, Devonshire;
mentioned in Peter Bartow's will.
V. Joan Bartow, married Gilbert Salter, of Ottery St. Mary. To
them Peter Bartow gives ' ' all the term unexpired in the two
Closes of land at Ottery for certain years from William
Channon;" also a legacy. Gilbert Salter was appointed
Guardian of his nephew, Peter Bartow, Junior.
IX. PETER BARTOW, " of Awlescombe in the County of
Devon, Yeoman," so described in his will, in which he says that
he formerly lived at Ottery St. Mary, Devonshire. He married
at Awliscombe, in 1598, Alice Borrongh and removed to Awhs-
combe, where he died in 1619. In his Will dated 2 May 1619
he desires to be buried in the Church at Awliscombe. He be-
queaths a small sum "to the poor of Awlescombe, where I now
dwell," also to the "Poor of Dunkeswell" and to the " Poor of
Sheldon." He gives " to 20 of the poorest inhabitants of Awles
combe 10 shillings between them at my burial." He leaves a
legacy to " Nicholas Forwarcle, Clerk, Preacher of Gods' Word
at Otery." Also "to the Governours of the Goods and here-
ditaments of the Chiu'ch of Ottery St. Marye the sume of Tenne
Pounds of lawfnll Money of Englande, to be by them and
theire successors Governors there ymployed for the reliefe and
succour of Poore husbandmen, labourers & handicraftsmen
within the Towne and Parish there forever to contineue in like
sorte as the threscore Pounds alreadie given them by Henry
Beamonte Esquire deceased." Peter Bartow also bequeaths
to the Church Wardens and Sidesmen of Awlescombe," £10,,
to be freely lent to poor children to bind them apprentices to
husbandry for such time as the Wardens & Sidesmen shall
think good, they taking good security for the repayment
thereof at the time agreed upon between them & to that use
the same to have continuance forever. ^ To his wife, Alice,
Peter Bartow gives his " interest in a tenement " at Wolver-
stone, " where I now dwell," after the demise of Tobias Potter,
Gentleman, together with all his Cattle, Corn, Hay, Timber,
etc., also a "moiety of another tenement and appurtenances,"
after the death of Henry Pringe and Grace his daughter.
He leaves small legacies to Peter and Margaret, childi'en of
Edward Burrowe, to " my uncle Jerome Burrowe" and Susan
his daughter; to each godchild; to Mary Somerhayes and to
Ellen Barker, " my servant." He wills that his " two Arm-
ours" remain where they are, his Corslett in his house in
Wolverstone where Stephen Wilkes now dwells and "the
Muskett with his^ furniture in that tenement wherein I now
dwell." All the residue of his jDroperty he bequeaths to his

tioned in the list for Awliscombe, but was unknown to them.
2) its.
son, Peter. By Alice Borrough, his wife, Peter Bartow had
the following childi-en:
I. Mary Bartow, born probably in 1604, to whom her father be-
queathed £ 300, to be given her in 1623; also "an annuity of
£ 14 per annum arising out of Sheldon Grange for certain
years to come by the grant of John Thomas Gentleman. "
II. Peter Bartow, of whom presently.
VIII. GENERAL PETER BARTOW, son of Peter Bar-
tow and AHce Borrough, was born at Awhscombe in 1609.
By liis father's will liis guardian was directed " to traine him
uppe in good learninge in one of the Universities of this realme
or elsewhere during his minority or Nonage." By the said
will he is bequeathed "an interest in a leasehold estate & lands
in Dunkeswell in the tenure of Andi-ew Bulstone;" also " a ten-
ement in Wolverstone in the said parish of Awlescombe by the
grant and demise of Sir Thomas Drewe, Knight."
Peter Bartow seems to have been a man of wealth and influ-
ence. He engaged in the wars of those troublous times on
the side of King Charles and was heavily find, but pardoned
by the joint action of the House of Lords & Commons. ^ In a
CATALOGUE OF THE LoKDS, KnIGHTS AND GeNTLEMEN THAT HAVE COM-
POUNDED FOR THEiE ESTATE, printed in 1655, Peter Bartow, of
Awliscombe, is mentioned with £187. In the "Lay Sub-
sidies" or assessments made upon the inhabitants of the
Hundreds of Crediton, Hemlock and Ottery St. Mary, Peter
Bartow is taxed in six different years m the reign of James I,
Charles I and Charles II. He and one Francis Piggott are the
highest taxed on the Hst. By EUsabeth his wife, Gen-
eral Peter Bartow had the following children :
I. Peter Bartow, baptised at Awliscombe, in 1634, settled at
1) N. Y. Churchman; 4 July, 1S85.
Tiverton, Devonshire. He married at Ottery St. Mary, 4
Nov. 1658, Elisabeth, Daughter of William Taylor, by
whom he had a son Peter Bartow. Peter Bartow, l the son,
was Church warden of S. Peter's Church, Tiverton, in 1709;
Deputy Governor of Tiverton Hospital in 1706 & 1714 and
Treasurer in 1709. He was Mayor of Tiverton for the years,
1718, 1730, 1734, 1739, 1742 and 1746. In 1724, Dec. 24,
he signed the last Charter granted to Tiverton by George I,
as one of the "Capital burgesses." In 1731, Peter Bartow
and Peter Bartow, Jr. sign " an address of thanks from the
Mayor and Corporation, clergy and principal inhabitants of
the town of Tiverton, to the generous contributors to the
sufferers by the late fire in Tiverton." Peter Bartow, son of
Peter Bartow and Elisabeth Taylor, married 5 Jan. 1695,
Agnes Frost, by whom he had a son, Peter, mentioned above.
The latter was probably the father of the two sisters, Martha
and Elisabeth Barto. The said Elisabeth Barto was born in
1746, and is buried at Crediton. She married Thomas Mel-
huish, of Sandford. John Melhuish, their eldest son, born
1769, lived at Tiverton. His daughter, Mrs. Elisabeth Tucker
of Tiverton, wrote me that her greataunt Martha Barto,
used to tell the family, that "she was the only living
inheritor of the name in England. " See Bartow Genealogy,
pp. 14, 178 & 239.
II. Thomas Bartow, of whom presently.
III. James Bartow, died in infancy and buried at Awliscombe in
1642.
IV. Mary Bartow, baptized at Awliscombe, in 1644.

Elisabeth Bartow, was baptized at Awliscombe, in 1636, and
settled at Crediton, Devonshire. He married Grace ,
who died Jan. 1676, and was buried in the churchyard of the
Holy Cross, Crediton, 25 Jan. 1676. By Grace , his
